I'll try & keep this simple & only down to details you need to know.
DD is 7. Her dad has only seen her once. That was organised by SS. At the time I was a minor as was her dad so I had no say in what was going on because my mum kept a lot from me with regards to his case with SS. He hasn't seen her since she was a few weeks old. Although he has kept in contact with me just asking about her for pictures etc. We have gone round & round in circles over the same argument. I'd love for DD to have a relationship with him. He always says no. He says it would be weird because she doesn't know him. Surely for her to know him she'd have to meet him & spend time with him?
Fast forward to today & I've managed to get something set up so they write to eachother. DD's spelling is good & she writes well so it wasn't a problem to start with. Now DD is getting bored of letters, to the stage where he will send one & she wont reply for months. He has said before if she wants to stop then he will just pay for her but I think its unfair that he will pay but not have contact. Why should DD not have a relationship with her dad? Shes entitled to & has a right to it. We tried phone calls but last time he said he wasn't well & had to go to hospital so we dropped it.
I'm now at the point where I need to tell him shes obviously getting nothing from these letters. She has so much to say each day. What do I do?
