Chapters
I'm not mad at you. I'm hurt because at the end of the day, however you want to phrase it, you were told that he possibly wasn't yours. He's a kid, and he's still a kid sitting on this stage. He's your kid. So as the adults in that situation, regardless of whatever was said, you should have took the accountability. And if you had doubts, you could have got a DNA test in the beginning. Why are we here 33 years later? That's not fair for him. And you gonna— and it's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. But I just want you to see what this has done to him emotionally and mentally. Yeah. For a grown man, 33 years old, men don't cry like this. For him to sit on this stage and cry like this, He's in a vulnerable state, and for you to sit there and not even have any type of emotional connection to him, that is delusional.
