Just who are you to accuse someone of destroying a child's life!!!
You have no real insight into how the biological father is treating his child. If you had read all the messages you would have seen that he is disowning his child despite a paternity test.
Whilst I agree that talking bad about an ex to a child will more than likely come back to haunt you, that does not mean it destroys a child's life.
I have always maintained that I will never lie to my son about his biological father and their relationship, but the truth will hurt my son. I feel rather the truth than a sugar coated lie that he will see through in the end and then he will be even more hurt by the fact that I lied to him.
My advice to this mother is to kick the biological father into touch. If he is upset about the fact that his child is calling another man "daddy" then maybe he should actually try being a daddy himself before denying that right to his child.
