this made me cry

[cuteboots]

So my little boys dad is currently in prison and has stopped writing to him! He asked last night if he can send him a xmas card asking why he has stopped writing and I just lost it! It took me about half an hour to stop crying!! How can one man be such a massive t*?! His son is 8 for gods sake and is devasted by this..

So sorry cuteboots.
Do you know why he's stopped writing?

ah cute i'm so sorry! Its such a difficult thing to deal with.

corlan- I have no idea he is a law unto himself . He has been writing but as and when . Ive been trying to keep the door open for them to stay in touch but its so hard . I know hes doing lots of courses for when he gets out next year but one letter for gods sake isnt hard is it

It's so selfish. He doesn't sound like much of a dad at all.

Do you think there's a laboratory churning out all these guys that are too busy thinking about themselves to worry about their children?

corlan- Im not sure if there is a factory but it is the reason Im happy to be single and my son is my main focus . Life is to short to put up with being treated like this and its his loss as his son is a lovely little boy

That's so sad for you all. I actually feel sorry for the dad too. To be honest, when I am feeling shit and having a dreadful time ( amd I am not even in prison), I tend to break off contact with people too. Still - his son?? I think I would keep in touch.

I don't feel sorry for your Ds's Dad. He has nothing much to do all day and can't be bothered to keep in regular contact.
He chose to do something illegal, knowing he risked prison, and being apart from his son.
Op let your son send a Xmas card, see what, if any, is the response. I protected my child for many years from knowing her father was a useless waste of space. Later she realised I had lied to her eg. Daddy's car has broken, Daddy has to work etc etc. I was trying to spare her feelings, but in the end I think she felt deceived.

I dint think there is an excuse that will ever cover this one and its yet another reason for us to stay well clear of him when he gets out in May. Plus Im still struggling with the reason hes in there anyway! ; 0 (
