Hi guys gotta say before I start, I love your channels on YouTube. Listen to them every day.

Ok, the story. This is more of an advice post. So I am an Aussie male(33), and start of last year my recent ex, let's call her C (for confused, not anything else...) contacted me after 8 years apart, and told me she truely believed that I of her children is mine. Believes she did the math and child was conceived a week before we split up, and did a DNA test with the dropkick she cheated on me with and he wasn't the father so I was the next liable choice.

Now I have always wanted to be a father, I had a daughter before, but she died the day before her 7th birthday (would've been 21 this year. Yes I was a young father, don't judge me). Now, due to past relationships I didn't trust what she said, especially when she said she didn't want any child support. So I asked for a DNA test and at the time, she agreed.

I said at the time, didn't I? Yeah, well just recently she's turned around and said she's known all along that the child wasn't mine started refusing the DNA test and blocked me on everything.

Now, I have major depression, OCD, PTSD and something they used to call ABD (Anger blackout disorder), so not a good mix! And this bitch is fucking with my head even more by only sending a pic of birth certificate after unblocking me, and threatening she will take me to court for harrassment if I take her to court to force a DNA test.

Now, AITA if I decide to go to DCP (child services) to see if they can help me deal with this and move on with my life?

Edit; Forgot to add, I am unemployed and on centrelink (government pay) and believe legal aid can't even help me as I don't have the messages of her stating she believed the kid was mine anymore (lost/broke due to anger phone they were on

Update: Ok guys, have an update for you but it's not good.

Firstly I remembered something after calming down and talking to a few family members. Ex was 6 months pregnant when I met her, she had gotten out of an abusive relationship. When that child was born, I distinctly remember signing the birth certificate of my "stepchild", now I am getting abused after messaging and talking to the child after they sent me a friend request and started the conversation!!

WTF??

Got in contact with legal aid in my city, was told they couldn't help and was sent contact info with a centre in Perth. Contacted them and same thing, now I have a third place to try. I'm on a wild goose chase!

Why do i hear of multiple other people in the same shoes getting help fast, and yet I get kicked to the curb?

I just want to know if I'm a father or not, the main thing I believe I was put on this earth to be and do. I'm really close to giving up and saying goodbye to this infestation forever. Anyone got any ideas or info I can use? Would be greatly appreciated.
