I'm wondering what you all would do in this situation.....

Most of you know that our daughter Krystal was with this low life scum bag that's 23 years old....she's 16.

The other day, a letter came into the mail, or should I say, came back to our address. It was a letter that Krystal sent to that low life in jail with pictures of the baby in it and lots of I miss you's. I showed it to hubby and we decided to keep in hidden in his safe for now. Leaving krystal to think that he doesn't write back so he moved on kind of thing because we don't want him in her life at all.

Last night, Krystal informed me that there was no "other guy" that could be the father to her child. It's that 23 year old loser. We've already registered the baby as having an unknown father so there isn't a threat there unless he's willing to fork out a lot of money to prove he is the father.

I talked to hubby about how I was feeling. 1/2 of me wants this loser to pay child support but the other 1/2 of me doesn't want him to be in her life right now because of his lifestyle and that he's so much older then our daughter. I couldn't stomach that. He said that we should leave things the way they are for now and deal with these issues when and if they come up in the future. I agreed to that.

Now I'm wondering if I just set myself up for my daughter to resent me in the future or not. I really do strongly feel it's the right thing to do at this time until Krystal matures a little more so that maybe she could understand that we did this out of love and care for her and the baby.
