My husband and I went to a sperm bank in NYC for we both wanted to have a child, but my husband was not capable. I got pregnant after 6 months. My son is now 15 years old and I got divorced from his father 10 years ago. My son does not know of this and his father is threatening to tell him. I do not know what to do.
