After some moral support or words of wisdom. DS is nearly 10, father has never been involved emotionally or financially. Violence started at 3 months pregnant and had him arrested first time. Never bad mouthed him just said I wanted him so bad I didn't wait to find a good dad. Last couple of years DS has expressed an interest in meeting him,so put the word out I was looking for him. Good friend got in touch to say she had seen him and his response was that he couldn't afford to care for him and didn't want to make promises he couldn't keep. I replied via friend that I didn't need his cash and DS just wanted to know what he looked like and what his personality was like. Got a call from friend to say that he was prepared to meet up, but no number or anything but I know where he drinks. I'm going to the pub tomorrow while DS is at school but I don't know what to suggest, if I'm honest I'm scared but I have to do this.
Not sure why I'm posting this just hoping someone can tell me it will be okay.
