I’m a lone parent to my 7 year old.

Her dad and I had 50/50 contact up until about 18 months ago and then he suddenly blocked me and moved house.

Dd is heartbroken. Her dad had another little girl and they were so so close and she can’t understand why she can’t see her sister anymore. I’ve basically said that daddy had to move house and he’s far away but I’m here always and I won’t be going anywhere.

But she misses him so much I am heartbroken at the pain she is going through. And I honestly don’t know what the fuck I’m meant to say?

im so angry with him, but obviously would never let Dd know. How fucking dare he?

Not sure if it's the right thing to do but I think I'd tell my 7 year old I was mad at him. I'd say he should have talked first and I'm mad he didn't, to me that's showing her it's not right behavior and not normal. My 7 year old would understand why I was angry, because he'd hurt her. Maybe consult a counselor though first?

not much advise or help but didn’t want to read and walk on by. What an absolute twat of a man. Beyond vile. I had a shitty dad and grew up feeling like I wasn’t good enough to love properly so I would just try and counteract that somehow

I think I need to look into therapy for Dd.

I also had a fucking shite dad never saw and I don’t want her to end up like me. I wish o could take all of this away from her.
