Absent father

4 replies

Background: haven't seen him since March 2020. He used to be 2 times a week for 2hrs. Lockdown happened and haven't heard anything from him bar his car broke down on DS's birthday so couldn't deliver presents. I didn't respond as what was I meant to say?

I walked past where he used to live (local) and whereas before it listed his name (think shared postbox) now it doesn't have his name. AIBU to leave it and assumed he has moved or should I actually say anything?

Leave it if he wants to get in touch he will

Better absent than in and out with fake promises, concern, desire to be there....

He sounds like a cock op. But sometimes an absent father is better than one who’s in and out. My sons dad is very inconsistent. Won’t see him for months then turns him. It really messes up ds. It would be easier if he buggered off completely. I would wait for him to contact you. I get your anger though, I really do.

I never knew my dad. But I can’t miss what I never had.
