My partners son no longer speaks to him. When he was 15 my partner left his son’s mum. It seems likely that this was the start of the relationship breakdown and over 3 years, the son has become estranged. He is 18 now.
My partner sends messages simply saying he is always available to chat and catch up. He quietly watches his son’s Instagram account and likes the photos without commenting.
Recently my partner has been blocked from seeing any of his son’s social media accounts. He is naturally devastated and hurt. He never forced contact or apportioned blame or said anything that would provoke his son to turn away. He was a loving and attentive dad and his love never died, but his son saw it differently, obviously.
I’m so sorry for my partner. I feel I want to reach out to his son and just say that his dad is a good man who loves him.
Would I be right in doing this?
