I hate to hear that, bro. I applaud you for being active trying to be involved in your kids life. Your presence is extremely important to that kid. Do all you can. Best of luck with all of it.
I'm still of the belief that its absolutely best for people to be married before bringing a child into the world. Not only is it best for the kid, but it certainly provides the best opportunity for both parents to positively impact their kids lives day to day. I'm well aware that this way of thinking is outdated, but then again, so am I.
