Search Results: real ex girlfriend

My brother didn't know whether or not he had a son. He's 28 and his ex girlfriend and him broke up 9 years ago. They dated for 2 years. They broke up and she got into anoher relationship immediately afterwards. Out pops a baby 9 months later. Well. 9 YEARS later she come knocking on his door telling him that it's actually his boy. 9 years! The boy is 9 years old never knowing his real father all because she didn't feel like telling him.

My brother is very irresponsible. He's like a child himself even now let alone 9 years ago. But who knows how knowing that he had a baby would have changed him. Maybe it would have given him motivation to grow up having a reason outside himself. I couldnt imagine waiting so long but then I thought. Maybe she was right? Maybe it was best for the baby that he not be in his life for the important years? I dont know this is so messed up.
What do you think? Is there ever a reason for a woman to not tell a man that she had his baby?
