and ds's dad turned up with his girlfriend and his other child that he has with some other woman. the same park that he took ds to nearly 4 years ago to say goodbye to him and to say that he doesn't want anything else to do with him.

its just made me feel really shit now. it always does when i see him around on the odd occasion as he lives just 10 mins from me. ds hasn't had anything to do with him since that day at the park and ds had only just turnt 1 so doesn;t recognise him at all so doesn't know that he was playing in the same playground as his dad and half brother.

His dad of course did see him and does see him every now and then around town but will never ever acknowledge him or speak to him or even look at him. he will walk straght past us in the street and completely ignore his own child. NOT that i EVER want him to ever have anything to do with ds ever again in the future anyway as he was a god awful dad in that 15 months he did stick around.

but its just made me feel like crap now seeing him play happy families with one child knowing he has completely disowned another.

Aw juicy that's awful no wonder you feel rotten.

Sounds like your ds and you are better off without him .

Juicy that sounds heartbreaking for you. He sounds like a complete to**er so you most definitely are better off without him but i can see it must still really hurt.

Be strong for your DS - you sound like a lovely mum to him.

That's really sad. At least your DS has a lovely mum.

juicychops · 21/11/2009 13:39

thanks yeah me and ds are better off without him. and im glad ds was too young to remember him or it would be terrible for him.

just whenever i see him it reminds me of all the pain he's caused which i usually keep buried at that back of my mind

He's a looser. It will be eating away at him on some level.

Lets face it- if he can't even acknowledge his own son then he's not a nice person, probably mad and not very happy.

sad for you but just keep reminding yourself what a wierdo he is.

juicychops · 21/11/2009 13:59

thats what i worry about poshsinglemum, that he just doesn't care and that it doesn't bother him at all

think of it that way juicy, he is just one of those awful people.
he is not the only one, there are many of them.
and its better they are away.
your ds is lucky he has such a lovely mum.

You shouldn't be the one feeling crap juicychops, he should. After all he sounds like a complete arse that you and your son are better off without.

Count your blessings (no.1 being your son!)including the fact that your son is too young to know/recognise his Dad when you are out and about.
