I feel like the answer will be yes but I feel like I need some clarity on the issue.
DD1 has a "father" whom she doesn't see. Totally his decision to walk out of her life at 2yrs, he came back at 6 when we decided to try at a relationship (bad move on my part), once we split again he left her alone again, she has a phone (old one with no money on simply to watch kidsyoutube and stay in touch with family who live further afield on whatsapp).
he contacts her through WhatsApp messages on birthdays and Xmas and every now and again during the year. He has seen her once since she was 2, despite me trying to keep their relationship going.
Anyway it was her birthday recently, she got the usual text a couple of days before but this time he started talking about how much he loved her, how beautiful she was (he hasn't seen pictures as far as I'm aware) and how much she could go stay at his since he's moved house now. His messages come across as rather sleazy and more something teenagers would say to their gf rather than a father daughter thing.
He has another daughter, myself and his ex-wife are in contact regularly and the girls see each other when we can, as they are sisters and have a great bond. I know he doesn't so much as contact the other daughter or her mum so why this with my daughter? And why now? Is it because she is slightly older (9)?
Sorry for the long post!
I just want to know should I message myself telling him how inappropriate his messages are coming across? Should we just ignore him safe in the knowledge that he will crawl back under his rock until Xmas now?
Confused!
