Father's Day rant really.

My little one is nearly a year and he's never met his dad. His dad pretty much walked away when I told I was pregnant.

Anyway. Fast forward to now - the guy has two kids and is bloody married, and he's posting all over his social media about being a great dad and how much he loves his kids. (I didn't know he was married or had kids until recently)

Um? Hello? I have one of those kids here mate... where the f**k you?! Can't stand it. Acting like he's this amazing person to all his mates and family.

This is just a rant. But Jesus! Why are some men like this? He's so arrogant as well - he legit thinks he's gods gift. 🤬

A letter from cms may bring him back to earth...

@Walkamileinmyshoesbeforeujudge
Oh he's already paying for him (he's only bothered about that - it's a big inconvenience for him)

Just couldn't believe it.
Like telling to world how much he loves his kids.... and he's a great father .... aha. Ok pal

Block him on social media. Boast book is not your friend.

People put up snaps of how they want to be seen. And knowing what is going on it upsetting you.

You can't control him. Only you. So carry on being the best person you can be. You'd ds will know who was there whilst he was growing up.

Personally I would block - your child might like access to those photos one day so I'd copy the lot. But I would limit looking at his profile to once a month for updates.

Keziah2020 · 18/06/2019 10:03

I wouldn't block.

I would think carefully before I blocked. It was only through social media posts that my DD realised her child's father was working and he was therefore deliberately misleading cms.
He is vile to treat your son so differently from the others and I am always astonished that there are women who have children with men who don't see their first family.

So he was having an affair with you? Does his wife know about your son??

GinIsHappiness · 18/06/2019 19:33

She knows. I told her when I found out (he denied it first - until I showed him the photo of them all) tbf - when I spoke to her she either doesn't believe me or doesn't care.

I have blocked him. But my friends still have access to his social media as he wasn't clever enough to block everyone in my life off his family media . one asked if I'd heard anything. I said no, that's when it was seen. (They looked - I didn't ask them too) - but I don't mind knowing about it. It just that one thing that really bothered me.

I would also ask friends not to share with you too.
