Let me tell you about my son, Ryan. Like many college students, his days were a mix of stress, excitement, and late-night study sessions.

Ryan’s always been a good kid—kind, responsible, and just a bit too trusting.

I advised him to take a DNA test, not out of distrust but to ensure he wasn’t stepping into something blindly. When the test confirmed he was the father, he embraced the role without hesitation and started officially dating Shelly.
