When I was 18 I was date raped and from that I had a daughter at 19. I decided to keep her and raise her. I met my now husband when my daughter was 6 months old and he fell in love with her. Everything was going great. We married when she was 14 months old. Fast forward, we now have another addition to our family and it seems his emotions have changed. He in the begining steped up to really be her dad and now seems that her real father should be paying support and that she should know the truth about where she came from. Mind you that she is only 3 1/2 years old. I don't think that this is the right time to bring it up. Now since we have daughter number two we have been fighting more than ever on this one subject. Her father knows about her and doesn't want anything to do with her. He works at taco bell and has another child with someone, so getting any type of child support wouldn't really be worth it. It may just lead to other problems. My daughter is happy and well adjusted, telling her that her real father is a rapist right now is wrong. I never pressed any charges or went after him, I just want to put this behind me and move forward, and my husband just thinks that she should know the truth growing up. Where do I go from here.....When we do talk we never can agree.
