 Re: Asking questions about absentee father... | |
Do you have a new man in your life? I have recently explained to my children that just because you do not share the same blood doesn't mean someone can't be family. (Aunts and people like that)
I would say something like this (I'd sit him down and hold him) "sometimes daddy's can not do all the work it takes to be a daddy but a mommy can. They don't understand how to love like your mommy does. (you don't want to give him false hope that his daddy loves him if he doesn't) Your daddy knows that I will protect you and love you and take care of you. Daddy and I decided together that mommy would keep you safe and daddy could come and see you when he could. Daddy works alot so it's hard for him to come here. Then ask if he has any questions.
Poor little guy. I'd like to kick his daddy in the butt for him. |
