She broke it off with me after she found out she was pregnant and reconciled with her husband. She didn't tell anyone, so I went about my way not knowing. Now, they are divorced, and she calls me out of nowhere to let me know about him.

You're asking the OT how to raise a child.
Chances are you're going to be a bad father regardless of the advice we give.

Give the guy some support. Kids don't deserve this situation, cancer or the sads. Hate stories like this (kids caught up in grown up stuff) here.

His mother sounds like a horrible woman. So I would advise you to limit her influence as much as possible.

Geez she handled that terribly, I give you a lot of credit for not being resentful as hell or questioning her sanity.

how old is yours??

If he's anything like my 3 year old he wants to spend time playing together. Just hang out and do what he wants. Warning though, 3 year olds can be assholes at the flip of a switch.

Scruffy doesn't have kids, but here is one bit of advice he has picked up watching other parents. 
Take it for what it's worth.
For now, get to know him. He is 3. He'll probably be excited to meet you after he gets over the shy phase.
Don't spoil him. You'll probably want to, but spend time with him to get his affection. Don't do it by buying him presents. You are still his dad.
He needs a dad, not a best friend.
Good luck.

Just try to make up for lost time.

Well damn. Now I feel bad for her ex, if he thought it was his kid for 3 years.

Paternity test has been done, and he's most certainly mine. Any recommendations on how to help raise a 3 year old boy? He is my first child, and it is a bit daunting, especially considering I've had no forewarning. I've already gone through the court system. His name has been changed, and his mother and I are being very amicable at this time. Any positive advice would be greatly appreciated
This was far more upbeat and promising than I thought it would be when I clicked on the thread.

Well, I would suggest taking it easy and try to establish a working relationship with his Mother. If you two are not going to get along or be in concert, it is only going to confuse you poor lad.
Congrats and take things slowly at first.

Be involved. Try to catch up. Understand the gap of time that he went through without you. Ask questions. Find out what he likes. Start relating slowly and go from there. Congrats bro. You have a prince

I have one that's 5 and another that's 14. You're not the only parent here, Paige.

He's getting off easy.

If you're a good person, just continue to be a good person. Kids learn by watching.
Your instincts will take over. Love him like he has your heart, because he will.
Congrats to you.

I'm sure that's where court came in...

I remember everything. She was an ex girlfriend of mine who was legally separated from her husband for 4 months when we started seeing each other again. She broke it off with me after she found out she was pregnant and reconciled with her husband. She didn't tell anyone, so I went about my way not knowing. Now, they are divorced, and she calls me out of nowhere to let me know about him. Anyways, paternity test done, court system taken care of, just looking for a little parenting advice for someone who has never parented a child of any age.
You believe that story?
