I have a friend. Don’t laugh, I know I’m an arrogant SOB but I do actually have friends.
This one is in turmoil. He’s asking for my advice.
The situation is complicated, much more so than I can reveal here, but here’s the basic premise:
My friend is a millionaire. No shit! I’m skint and one of my best mates is a millionaire, I kid you not.
Well, surprise surprise he got targeted. He married when his woman got pregnant. The kid wasn’t his, something she kept from him. Rumours abounded until he finally got a paternity test and now he knows he wasn’t the biological dad. They’re now divorced. During all this I introduced him to the red-pill (in a very round about way) so he’s not totally ignorant.
But now he’s coming to me for advice again. My instinct is to run for the hills – why the fuck would I want to get embroiled in such a shitfest? But I can’t turn my back either, I like the guy.
So much for background, here’s the current situation:
His son has heard from his schoolmates at least some of the story, that his “dad” is not his dad. He’s asking questions – “Are you my dad?”
So far my friend has said he is, but he’s unsure if he’s doing the right thing and so is asking me, someone who has no kids, and I’m concerned I’m advising him incorrectly.
My advice to him has been as follows:
His son is hitting his teens and so needs to know the truth however hard this may be for my friend, if for no other reason than he could end up shagging his half-sister somewhere down the line.
If he’s old enough to ask, he’s old enough to know. Perpetuating the lie could result in his son seeing him as being part of some conspiracy against him.
Then there’s the money. My friend is afraid that should something happen to him that this money grabbing harpy could get her grubby little mitts on his fortune through his kids.
My advice to him has been to lawyer up. He’s resistant and wants an advocate (me) instead. He distrusts lawyers and I see why but only lawyers can advocate for you properly in the courts. I suggested he find one that has been divorce raped and so may sympathise with his plight.
Yes, I used the term “divorce rape”. Not something I would normally do IRL, but he’s been red-pilling for years and so I saw no harm.
Any advice, for myself or that I can pass on to my friend would be greatly appreciated.
