Should I report myself as the father of the child in Rhode Island? Or will that harm the financial status of the mother, who has not been employed since before the birth of the child?
When the state finds out who you are it will pursue child support. If you're supporting your child you're better off doing it properly rather than paying now and paying again when the state seeks reimbursement.

....what mitigating role does the mother's mental state play?
Why do you imagine that the mother's diagnosis has any relevance to your duty to support your child? Welcome to Earth.

I really have no emotional attachment to my most recent child, only a sense of shame, remorse, and betrayal. Please help with any suggestions you believe to be pertinent.
Perhaps you would benefit from counseling.

I do not see myself as a bad person. I see myself as a used person, for the next 18 years.
I'm surprised that, after already having four children, you still weren't aware how babies were made when this evil woman tricked you.
