To cut a long story short, myself and my little girls father where together 7 years before she was born, don’t get me wrong the relationship was awful, but when my daughter was a year old I found out via a phone call from a girl (he was in the same room at the time) that he had been cheating for four months which came as a massive shock (obviously) I was very hurt but determined that it wouldn’t affect my little girl or her having a dad.
Since the day I received that phone call he hasn’t made one attempt to see her and even his family has stopped seeing her as I wouldn’t let them take her out of my house, his mother is not the best role model and wasn’t consistent in seeing her, weeks would go by between contact, all I asked was that they where consistent so that she was completely comfortable before they could take her without me -they then made the decision not to see her at all.
My ex and his new partner are alcoholics and by what I hear are taking drugs so most people just say she is better off without him, but now she is 3 and is starting to mention about a dad I don’t know what to say.
Rather than ask to see her or even ask how she is he had her birthday present delivered by argos after no contact for over two years - which I was very annoyed about been as he couldn’t even turn up to hospital when she was seriously ill.
I am worried that this situation will have a massive affect on my LO growing up and don’t know what to do 😭
