Well after Sundays successfull visit i think my ex wants nominating for father of the year!! After 4 and half years of nothing i have been in undated with emails and calls about DS. How he can just switch onto all this i dont know. So we have agreed to meet again on Monday DS is very excited about it! So we will see how it goes! DS has spoken of him a lot this week but im sure thats novelty. After all he suddenly has a daddy and he feels proud!!

At 4 maybe your ex see's your DS as a real person and not so demanding as a baby, wow what a great dad , ok son now you no longer cry, up chuck, poop your pants and can communicate i will take an interest in you.

Claire you are doing a great job of being a mum, I don't think I would be as noble after so long with no interest.

i don't know the full story but please be careful.it's very brave of you to let him back into his life after so long.i'm not sure i could.but your son has a lot to lose at this age and it would horrible if he walks out on him again.please be careful not to overdo the contact and try not to build it up too much.i'd also be careful about calling him daddy too.it's harder to lose a daddy than someone you have introduced by their name,imo.

hi claire, have to agree with taylorsmummy,really pleased for your little one BUT my ex came into my sons life aged 8 and was all over him for all of two months then dropped him like a ton of bricks. doesnt even get a card off him now, had to have counselling to get over his anger and now says he hates him

I would echo these posts be careful. If it works it would be fab but he has been absent for four years for a reason.
