My take has been that people shouldn't encourage this sort of purity test behavior. Just answer no. If she doesn't like that, she shouldn't ask questions like that
Ballistic missile dodged.
Except for the fact that she kept it, and is forcing me to get a lawyer just to have visitation rights, knowing it's not something I can afford. Sometimes I think if I lied about that dumb fucking question, everything would be different and I would have a relationship with my baby. There were other factors, more or less equally stupid, but that was a very big domino. I might have dodged the missile, but my kid didn't, and now I have to fight my hardest just to help them in the smallest ways imaginable.
If it's any consolation, the situation wouldn't be any different if you answered the question differently.
