Why do I want him to contact me? I have children with my ex and he hasn’t seen them for 3 years, last spoke to him last year, but not seen them in 3 years, despite this why do I want him to contact me? I haven’t heard from him in a year and I thought he would make contact at Xmas, then didnt, birthdays and still he didn’t, I should be furious with him which I am so why do I want him to contact me? Is there something wrong with me? I guess im wondering why he doesn’t care about them? Why doesn’t he want to know them? Has anyone been through this?

Of course you want him to stay in contact. They are his children. But it appears that some men can shut off a compartment in their lives and just walk away. You can be furious about that too. Flowers

Do your dc have any contact with their paternal grandparents?

They have passed sadly, I never met them.

It’s the triumph of hope over experience.
