I raised my step kid from 1 years old, had a 6 year relationship with his mom until she cheated on me. I completely cut everything off. I was never under the impression he was my bio child, so maybe it's different, but I didn't want any part of that in my life anymore. Doing much better now that it's all over. I have no moral obligation to continue any sort of relationship with either person.
He went to his grandmas during our breakup, and is still there to this day (BM did some dumb stuff and was homeless for 2 years until a week ago). He has come to my place of work a couple times to see me but I make it brief, his grandma should know better but it is what it is. I haven't seen him in almost a year at this point. I feel bad for him, I do. His dad is a pos drunk and his mom is trying to get her life back on track, but I'm not his parent anymore.
Tbf they would probably barely remember him by the time they're an adult if they were that young. I had a friend and his mom dated this one guy from when he was Like 4 to 9 and and he says he doesn't remember that much about him.
