Hi mum /mums to be.
This is my first time on here.
Let me explain my situation in a little more detail.
First of all there is me an older sister and an older brother. My dad left when I was just 12 weeks old. We had nothing to do with him for years. In fact my uncle became my father figure. I couldn't not have asked for a better support network growing up. Sadly he passed 8 years ago.
My sister 8 years older than me got in touch with her dad and started a relationship. She has pushed him back into the family. I stated very clearly from the beginning. That my uncle was my dad and just because he had died I would not replace the father figure in my life with my biological dad who walked out all those years ago. So now we all have boundaries . We get on. And I am very civil with him. To me he is just my sisters dad John.
Now I am a ftm at 20 weeks. I know what to expect once this baby arrives. He or my sister will expect him to become granddad like he is to her 5 kids.
But I don't want that. I want my child to grow up knowing my uncle and how much of a dad he was. Am I being unreasonable pushing my own grudges on to my child leaving him/her without a living granddad on my side. Or am I within rights to strip him from all grandparents right. He wasn'tla father to Me so he has nothing to do with my child surly. Is that unfair for my child ? To be signed out from the other kids in the family
Thanks in advance
