What should I do?

[Elliottmomma]

My son is 2. His dad left when I found out I was pregnant (we was actively trying). He went to Australia. Baby's dad ignores all contact so has nothing to do with child. When my son was born, my son's dad's mum got in contact and bombarded me with messages about DNA. Cut a long story short it all blew up as she wasn't happy about only seeing my son when I was around as I had never met her. (I was with her son for 4 years) was I in the wrong for saying she couldn't see him without me there? Now 2 years have passed and if sent 2 pics of my son to her. She hasn't been 8n contact with me to see how my son is doing or anything. Should I make the move to get her to see him or leave it down to her?

COnsidering she's raised an abject cunt, I wouldn't bother seeking contact with her.

WOw, I would not invite that stress into your life at all. Sorry you are going through that

In a similar situation and have left it to them to make contact for now (they haven't and none of his family have met dd). When shes older and would understand more than I may attempt contact if they haven't but I think I'll wait until she's old enough to express that she'd want to meet them. It's a complete mind field trying to decide what's best isn't it, and there is no right or wrong in my eyes, just what seems to be the best option for you and your son

Thanks for the replies. I feel guilty in my son for not trying my hardest to get them in his life. My son's dad's dad's met him last year (he lives in Australia as well. Came over for a wedding). Which I thought was brilliant, but hasn't bothered contact since. Even though he has previously been in the UK recently. I dnt know whether to cut all ties with all of my son's dad's family and leave till he is older? Thanks for the advise.

In my eyes contact has to enhance yours and Ds’s life . I don’t see either . Leave well alone
