That he never met him before because I made it impossible by my treatment of him.

DC tracked down ex on social media. He also has a business profile online and was easy to find. He’s replied saying that he would love to meet Dc but the reason he hadn’t all this time was me.

we had a shit end to the relationship and neither of us were great to each other. I wasn’t blameless. However I spent a long time after DC was born inviting him into DC’s life. He never got back to me and made CM claim hard.

I am angry/upset/don’t know want to do?

You don’t need to do anything. Be honest with your son about how you see things and accept his dad will have a different version of events.

What a dick. Can you show him any proof you offered contact?

Yuofb · 14/07/2022 16:38

@thethoughtfox i have some emails but I didn’t want to drag DC into it all. I don’t have any texts obviously as it was so long ago.

DC very upset but has said, maturely, that his dad could still have contacted HIM even if he seemed to hate me so much. But I can tell he’s upset.

I cannot stand my ex. I was willing to put it behind us all those years ago but to do this 15 years later??? Bastard.

I think you should tell your DS the truth but ultimately, your son is old to enough to (now) decide if he wants a relationship with his father. If the father fucks up, then at least your DS knows what kind of father he is,

Show your son the emails. His father opened this can if worms. But also say you will support any contact your son feels happy with and you will equally support him if he wants to retreat for any reason.
