...Because he doesn't like me anymore.'
Is what my ten year old son said to me.
'That's not quite right' I replied but what the fuck am I supposed to say?
Because he's a deadbeat?
Because he's a lazy prick?
Because he can't be arsed?
Because he's selfish?
Because society has given lazy pricks the OK to just abandon their children.
Back story, married for 20 years, separated about four years ago, divorced a year.
No financial help (ex fil says he won't work to avoid paying maintenance), haven't had contact since June.
My poor boy keeps switching between begging me to put up 'lost' posters to asking for another dad.
I told him his dad is not lost (ex bil keeps in contact with him).
Aibu to ask you to help me word a response to my son?
He has learning difficulties also.
