I see this as being an serious issue between you and the mother, and having nothing to do with the child (depending on how old the child is). You are and always will be the father of the child, no matter how you are related biologically. I hope you take that seriously.
My stepfather raised me as his own, and even after he and my mom split up, he is still my dad... and I'm in my late 20s. Nothing that happens to us will change that relationship, and that's how I think it should be. Genetics are overrated.
