I grew up in a very close knit family unit. As a single mum it’s very hard remembering my dad was around when we got our first phone, or we went to the beach or swimming etc. Everything was as a family. Choosing a pet etc.
I don’t miss my ex but I am heartbroken for DS. He’s asked about his dad and I say he works away and couldn’t be a dad because he didn’t know how.
Im not sure if that’s a good approach but he seems to accept it. My heart aches so much he doesn’t have his dad. I spent a long time trying to get my ex involved but he wasn’t interested. Pays a hefty whack in maintenance and that’s that. I think about it most days. DS is 3.
Anyone been where I am? How did it turn out?
