Comment on ChapterKiss Me If You Can - Chapter 41
I've already written a similar comment for another bl and i'll repeat myself.... There is no respect for your child or for the father , if you decide to hide something like this ( and joshua makes it clear that he has no intention of telling even his son. obviously the child is too young for such conversation right now, but joshua implies that he doesn't plan on telling anyone, even in the future..so i think...) Speaking from personal experience , no matter how unconditionally a child loves his parent, they will always have the "missing" parent on their mind. You can shower a child with unconditional love, but there will always be a void in them... and the fact that is a parent who denies the existence of the other is truly disrespectful toward the person you claim to love ( your child ), sometimes you want to protect someone and you don't realize you're creating a deep wound... obviously every situation is different and some might be so tragic they require such an action.. but there isn't a child who won't wonder who the other parent was, what they were like, how things could have been, and above all, wonder if it's their fault - if their very existence was somehow a " mistake " . This is just my personal thought, of course; everyone is entitled to their own opinion...
Maybe this is a subject i feel too strongly about....😑

@crys_pj No hate, but I’d do exactly what Joshua did if I were in his shoes. Knowing how crazy and unstable the ML and his fams are, keeping the child a secret is the best choice, not a 'disrespect' move. Sometimes a 'missing' parent is better off staying missing if they can't guarantee the child's mental health and safety after all
@Mamiddlefinger furthemore when ml's family control and barge in his life whenever and however they want.  Ml clearly need to heal his traumas and get rid off what shouldn't be in his life before comming into the child life.
And as a legal representant it's mc's role to see who deserve to be in his child life. No angry feeling but being rational, when pete will be old enough to understand everything then he will choose before that the choice is joshua's.
@Papyta First of all thank you for your reply; i always enjoy exchanging views with others because it often leads us to discover new perspectives.
I understand what you mean and partly agree with you... however what i think is that you can't "run away " from reality forever - from the fact that you two had a child and that the person you had him with is "problematic " , to say the least. Right now the child is too small but one day he might ask something and you'll have to choose what to say. Furthermore you want to keep your son away from his father , yet you don't hold back at all from getting involved in a relationship with him. This leave me beyond perplexed: if you consider the father inadequate that you don't think is capable of being in your son's life ( for your baby's own good ) you shouldn't get involved with him like this. Obviously this might be a too rational way of looking at it ; after all we almost always end up following our emotions rather than our logic....
@Mamiddlefinger Thank you for your reply i always appreciate a good discussion and the exchange of ideas, i find it very positive even when we disagree, it's possible to find common ground...
@crys_pj i really like that you don't feel wrong about people desagreeing with you, it shows a great maturity👌.
And totaly agree with you i just don't feel like it should apply to this case, because i don't feel like he's running away from reality, at least for now.
Like the relationship between them and the parentality are two different things Chase could be a sweet lover without being a good father. So I see it has mc's enjoying his time with a lover he don't want to involve his kid with. 
@Oui_wissal no hate at all.... i really think it's important to know how to listen to others whether you agree with them or not...let's keep an open mind and challenge ourselves... so i think 💯
