Topic : 12/25 Parent Trap

I was disgusted to find out what this woman has done to her Selina and to Enrique.  Regardless of what occurs now, Selina must find her way back home and unfortunately, her mother had created irreversible damage to this teenage girl.   Enrique should continue to help Selina mend but not as a father more so as a friend.   As a mother and someone who grew up without a father, it is difficult to feel pity or sympathy for Selina's mom. 

I feel more for Selina and the road that she must go through to find herself and her identity in this new world that  her mother has thrusted her into. 

My prayers and best wishes go to Selina and I hope that you know that you are much stronger than you think. 

It's great if the relationship with the child can be saved . However, he should not be forced to pay another dime in child support.

It is a terrible disservice to the child in the way the "step" father treated this litle girl. She was placed in a terrible situation.  Having said that:

I feel that the mother is the culpable party with regard to lying by silence that this child was the product of an affair.  Why didn't she go after him?  The natural father has to be the responsible person, even though the child was being cared for by should the "alleged" father.  It's like saying that any step-father, (and for the purposes of this, I believe that is what he is) would be responsible for someone elses children.

This man was deceived into signing the birth certificate!  He believed she was his daughter for ten years.  Although he handled the situation poorly, he has more than paid for that deception.

Do we now need to have a DNA test every time a child is born to establish paternaty?
