i have a DD, now 2. her DF has never met her, though i've openly encouraged meeting, sent updates, done all sorts. he left when i was a few weeks pregnant and that was that. he has 3 older children from a former marriage (his ex was already re-married when we met but he's close to them, sees them on a regular basis).
now, my friends bless them did try to warn me that he was a douchebag (their word not mine) back when i was seeing him.. but did i listen, no.
now if the information i've just received is correct (which looks quite likely but not 100%) he actually has another child. one that must have been born around a year after DD, which means that it must have been conceived about 3 months after DD was born.
my mind is reeling, i'm very WTF at the moment. if it's true, all the time that he has been ignoring DD entirely, he's been cosy with his older children AND with his new GF/baby. but DD hasn't had a look in. i've even had to chase for maintenance. i feel for DD. And . Just.. I give up.
I really, really do have the worst taste in men don't I.
I don't even know how to start explaining this to DD when she is a bit older and starts asking questions .
