Topic : 12/25 Parent Trap

I was saddened by the fact that the "father" actually requested a paternity test.   This case wasn't even similar to that of the guest whose girlfriend got pregnant and then framed him for child support.  Fatherhood isn't always determined by DNA buy by love.  What happened to this man?  Did he trade in his love for this child because he didn't give her his DNA?  I would have hoped that he would never wanted to know the truth because it wouldn't have mattered to him.  Yes, his ex-wife was very wrong, but it has nothing to do with his love for his child and his wanting to continue to support her financially, emotionally, and everyway that he could.

I have to wonder about the REAL reason Enrique decided to destroy his daughter's life.

My Ex didn't have a problem claiming his children UNTIL he got remarried adn his NEW wife had a problem with 'HER MONEY' being used for some 'bastard children' that were probably not even my Ex's. It was all about money!

I saw Enrique's new wife's ONLY concern was about the money. That is all she talked about. She could care less who was hurt or how it destroyed the relationship Enrique had with his daughter. Enrique had NO problem, BEFORE remarrying, to being a father to both his daughters.

I cannot speak to the relationship that Maria and Enrique had, evidently it had LOTS of problems because they got a divorce....hello! The relationship was a bust, and who knows ALL of the reasons, that is NOT our business. But, they had two children which Enrique accepted responsibility for from the moment they were born and loved from that moment UNTIL his current wife became wrapped up in the MONEY. But, Enrique, who had doubts, according to his own statements about Maria's fidelity and NEVER BROUGHT IT UP, accepted Selina as his and went on to have another daughter in the relationship. DUH!

Biology does NOT make a parent, otherwise all adoptions would end up disasters. Enrique, even thought he stated he had doubts, accepted and LOVED and nutured Selina, gave her the security of a father-daughter relationship only to DENY it all when Mia got pissy about MONEY! You have to wonder what kind of 'control' she has over Enrique to have him deny his child. Yes, his child.

I have a real problem with money grubbing second wifes who could give a damned about how they hurt and damage children's lives. The very idea that some low life woman who is so insecure in her new relationship or is so shallow as to only see the dollar sign is not made financial responsible for the damage SHE has done to innocent children should be your NEXT topic, Dr Phil!

BTW, my Ex, thru his second wife, publically denied his paternity and publically asked for paternity tests, in an effort to make me drop the demand for child support.  I said, go for it! Get the paternity tests! It never went further, except for the second wife to continue to call my children 'bastards' in public. I don't care about defending myself, I KNOW the truth, but, my children sufferred. I have two daughters who cannot commit to relationships and a son who was so angry, I had to take him out of public schools. They now have a REAL dad, who was NOT allowed to adopt them, because of my EX, a wonderful man who stepped up and tried for the last 10 years to erase the hurt, but, I will tell you this.....the hurt is ALWAYS there and it will NEVER go away.
