After about a year or so of dating my girlfriend, of course, at that age, just fresh out of college at 22 years of age, well my girlfriend missed her period one month and month later was telling me she was pregnant. We always used protection, and she was on the pill yet the test came out, positive.
We had agreed that we wanted to start a family in at least five years and so I mentally prepared to go in for an abortion. Three weeks later she changed her mind and decided to keep it. I explained the state of our finances and my unreadiness, but she said that it did not concern me and that the decision originated from her.
We also had constant arguments and we later decided to part with each other. My parents advised me to migrate to another country. After some time I realized that because of Dual citizenship and lack of treaties that could be applied in the United States, I could completely avoid paying child support.
The last time I heard, her pregnancy was hitch-free and she was trying her best to get my line through friends. This I only told some of my friends. Sometimes I even question of the right to raise the child but the aspect of not having any option in the whole process still puzzles me.
