I discovered my son’s birth through a Facebook post. My wife, Julia, and I had tried for years to have a child. When she finally got pregnant, we were thrilled. However, things soon went downhill.

Julia stopped wanting any physical interaction and became distant. “I just don’t feel like it, Mason. It’s too much right now,” she would say. Her moods became erratic, and she never let me attend any appointments. One night, she snapped, slapped me, and moved in with her mother. I was left doing everything at home.

Two weeks after our son Jason was born, I found out through Facebook. When I tried to visit, security kicked me out. Her brother revealed that Julia had an affair and thought the baby was her coworker’s. When the paternity test confirmed Jason was mine, I finally got to hold him. I then demanded a divorce and full custody, exposing Julia’s affair to her job, leading to her and the coworker’s dismissal.

The judge granted me full custody. Julia’s life fell apart, and she moved in with her mother. Despite her pleas, I didn’t forgive her. Now, I focus on being the best father to Jason.
