What a shitty xmas - feeling down

This is my 2nd xmas alone just me and my child. My son hasn't seen his dad since the summer after he physically assualted me and was verbally abusive towards me during handover. My child is now terrified of his dad and refuses to see him or even talk about him. He has refused a card, video calls with dad. I suggested he apologises to his son regarding his actions which he reluctantly did and the apology is chilling to listen to. My son wants for nothing and doesn't need anything from his dad but his dad hasn't even sent him an xmas card. I reached out to his grandparents and asked if they would like to see him over xmas and heard nothing back. No card or even a merry xmas text. I just feel really sad for my son, i don't want him to feel abandoned or unloved by them. To make matters worse he changed his whatsapp pic to him and his new partner xmas day

Never ever force people into his life that feeling is worse then abandonment. You are genuinely all he needs and as long as you keep putting him first that is all he needs. If he asks in future for his dad roll with it bit don't force it.
