I cut contact in February with my son dad. He sent me 2 letters one about how me and him will be strangers again and that he loves me and for the universe to bring us together no mention of our son. Then he contacted me cause I ignore the first one and then messaged me off his relatives TikTok saying I’m not alone and he loves me and always will so I messages saying you’ve not mentioned your son. So then I had a second letter saying how much he thinks and misses us both and how he wants things to work out he’s an alcoholic why I left, then I sent a letter back basically saying how hurt and how much I want him to get help blah blah, then the 3 letter basically told me to put my childish emotions to the side and he’s going to move on for the future and that includes his son. He hasn’t seen him over month and half and he’s a potential harm to our son. I can’t go back to him but I feel sorry for him but he won’t help himself! What can I do??

Nothing. Men like him never change. He cares about himself and himself only. Cut him off and raise your son alone.

I was in the same place 30 years ago. He had no interest in my DD once he realised she wouldn't be his ticket to seeing me.

He’s very selfish, I asked him loads of times to go get help he did have it but he stopped turning up to the appointments and then just kept drinking, wanted him todo it mainly for himself and his son but he won’t and then has the cheek to make it like I’m the bad guy for protecting our little one from a horrible future

Tbh you already know the answer . However I do say any interaction encourages this kind of game play . He isn’t interested in your Ds . So love on and don’t respond

I won’t be responding to his last letter now I sent one and it’s gonna stay like that, he likes to use our son on me cause I chose my son over him and he’s quite narcissistic too which hasn’t been a pleasant relationship
