First let me say, i was without internet for a few weeks. I broke down and bought me a net book! lol
AC had a daughter and another child that he considered his. I have always had contact with the childs mother that wasn't his biologically. The daughter is 19 now, but mentally challenged. His biological daughter, different mother, I never really knew, I knew she existed but had no idea where she was. Her Mom found out that AC died when she filed for child support a year after AC died. I sent my number to her to the address the court order had for her. She called me, and the first thing she asked when I told her he had died a year earlier in a motorcycle accident, was did he leave anything that Stephanie would be entitled too. She never called me again. I am very easy to find on MySpace or Facebook, or a lot of other places on the internet. Yet they never tried to find me.
Jump forward to about a year ago. My sister found Stephanie on MySpace. She sent her email, and asked if she knew who she was. And, Stephanies Mom had told her a yr before that AC was her father, (she always thought her step father was her bio father), and her bio dad had died in 2002. One would think that she would search us out after finding out, most kids do when they find out they have a real parent somewhere in the world. She is 18 now, but not real mature in my opinion.
I was hesitant to contact her, so waited about a month before I did. After talking to her a few times. It became obvious that she wanted AC's stuff that I have kept thru the years. Then her Mom calls and wants me to send her a 100 bucks cause she is running out of money for food.
So, bottom line is ...... I want nothing to do with the child, that is the daughter of my son. He was more than a bank, and it seems thats all they want, is what they can get out of it.
Stephanie even went as far as to post on her facebook page that she wanted the stuff so she could remember her father. She never knew him, how is that gonna help.
Am I a terrible person for not wanting anything to do with the child my dead son fathered?
Love and hugs
