AITA for how I responded to my ex wife's son?

The cheating whore is obviously the asshole if you have two braincells to rub together. Cheated on, lied to, only told about it when he went for custody. Yet he is the asshole. That sub is full of dumb fucks who live to blame everything on men no matter what it seems. I don't know why any man would post shit there, if you have a penis, you are gonna be the asshole lol.

Nope, it's not the kid's fault that his mother is literally a cheating slut but at the same time that doesn't give him the right to go and contact him. I think it's kind of harsh if he was raising him until he was 10 and he just cuts off contact like that but again. This is entirely the mother's fault, she is the one who put them both in that awkward situation.

It pisses me off so much the way every single time in this situation people try and dump responsibility on the man. No, it isn't his responsibility, the mother in this situation is being an absolute bitch and you have these scumbags online who are trying to cover for what she did by attacking the man.

I think he could have handled himself better but he is not to blame for the mother's actions and neither is the teenager. It's also not the best plan of the teenager to just contact an estranged non-father right out of the blue like that when he knows he has nothing to do with the family.

LOL if you check out the post it turns out this was a fake by MTGOW precisely designed to provoke a response from people. Hell that fucking worked and I had no idea whether this was a fake or not because it was written so convincingly.

Cute that this sub calls itself "Men's Rights" but conveniently wants to ignore the suffering of a male child who lost who he thought was his father. The genetics weren't there, but their bond was real... at least until the supposed "adult" in the situation decided otherwise. Imagine if who you thought was your father stopped caring about you altogether just because of a DNA test. It's like saying you were never really loved... you were just a genetic payload.

I'd understand if the kid was super young or something, but he was freaking ten years old.

Not his kid, not his problem.

As usual reality lies somewhere in the middle. This situation is more complicated than simple "Not his son, not his responsibility" and "Yta for abandoning your child even though you aren't bloodbound". He did raise that kid as his own and they do have a connection. It's exactly because that connection hurts so much that he decided just to close the door so he wouldn't feel the pain at all and no one can or should blame him for it. He only shouldn't have responded the way he did, he should've been kinder - "I'm sorry, I'm not ready to talk about this". There are no assholes here except the mother. Both sides of Reddit are fucking idiots.
