My half sister sent me an invitation to her wedding. I don't really know her at all. I've only seen her twice in my life. We're more like complete strangers. 

At the beginninf by the way). Anyway, long story short. I am 22, he's 28. After many stares, glances and blushing, we hang out. My first date with a guy... better late than never. He's perfect, good looking, shy, always correct and good hearted. Til this happens. He tells me he has a child. (An almost 2 years old son). I'm like... wow. A child. I love babies and kids! I thought I reacted this way cause I saw him more than a friend than a partner (after he confessed having a son). I tell him look, I might not be ready for this. I'm coming our from years of mistreatment and now I'm finally breathing. He's like, meet my son. I fell in love with his child. He's so sweet and cute. We played, had fun together, and he fell asleep in my arms after I was reading a fairytale. When his mom came, she got mad because I was at his place with their child, and that I ruin 'his idea of motherly figure'. I was like ok, I'm going home. He stopped me and let me stay when they went away he explained everything, that his ex is about to move a thousand miles away from here to start a new life with her new boyfriend, and that there's nothing he can do to stop it, the judge didn't give him custody and he is depressed cause he won't raise his child - another man will. He broke down crying and it was the first time I saw him so weak. I tried to console him but I wasn't much in the thing. After years of mistreatment I wonder why should I console someone when I went through much worse than this and no One helped me or consoled me.  But When he took my hand, I melted. He said 'why have you come in my life only now? Why after all this?' I didn't know what to say. My heart says stay, you like him, you're probably gonna love him if you just listen to your sentimental side, the other part of me says 'let go all this. You don't want to fighr with his ex, families like this never work, and why should you take a man who already has a family.  Why should you even console him, if no one did that for you'. If I listen to the innocent, good hearted me I would jump on him and say yes. If I listen to myself after all the s*** I have been through, I'll go away immediately.
