Absent parent

[Leannejo22]

Hi there i’m looking for advice without anyone being Judgemental please. My son is almost 2 years old and his father has not once came to see Him I’m still in contact and he messages now and again to see how he is but that’s all he does he sees his other kids his family don’t know about my son my family and friends have told me to change my number and cut off I carry guilt everyday I try my best to give my son the best life but it hurts me his farther is absent and don’t want to know.

Stop answering him, tell him if he wants to know how his child is, to start seeing him. Is he contributing financially?

I would block him

No i took him to CSA

If it makes you feel better I grew up not having a clue who my dad was and I am massively less messed up (I think) compared to those whose dads picked them up and dropped them when they felt like it, or built a relationship and then left or constantly let them down, or went on to have a new family that they doted on. No contact is just that, no contact, yeah it stings a bit making a family tree and not knowing parts of your family history but your son can find this all out for himself when he wants to.
