In the past when there has been a break in contact, or an upset, i have wanted her to go and se him. Yet this time she is resolute, she said she is nervous and sad.

She left him a message last might on the phone, i was v proud of her but upset at the same time that her own father has let her donw so much that at 5 she the message was about how cross, sad she was.
She siad it off her own back, and i thik he is going to have to get used to the fact that this amazing little person has a voice. She actually said, 'you have been mean to mummy and to me, and you have made a space in my heart'

Well i tried to say, theusual like daddy is looking forward to it, but she got very upset. So this will be the first time she gets herself heard iyswim.

thanks for your answer. Today an enelope with a card in form him arrived inthe post. Its so unprecedented. I can't belive he has done soemthing for her, its so lame tho its ridiculous, but that just shows me what an awful father has been to her in the last 2 yrs.

She did like it, but it didn't really make her ecstatic.

poor her - "space in my heart" - very sad.

Oh poor her, that space in my heart is just heartbreaking isn;t it?

SSSandy2 · 01/09/2007 20:10

aw the poor little girl. Know so many fathers like this, not that it helps you to know that. Does she have some kind of an honorary father figure, an uncle or someone? If so, I'd try and get regular contact going there. He sounds like a waste of space. Why does he keep fading out of the picture? Do you know what's behind it all?

I have no idea why he keeps fading out of the scene.

The longer he's been gone, the more he hates me, like many on here. His gf doesnt try at all with d anymore, yet he lives with her and her two children.

He is weak, and imo, gone mad, compared to the person i knew.

dd said yesterday, 'i do love daddy, but he has bee mean and i don't want to see him till I'm about 20' sorry but i just pmsl.
