My XDP has recently started to attempt to be a decent Father again. The first time he seen DS in ages, he asked who he was and I could only manage to tell him that it was Mummy's friend. Glad I did too and that I don't tell him when he is seeing him because 4 times out of 5 he cancels and the times he does show, he is late. I didn't really expect anything different but I admit I did have a little cry over it. I don't want my lil guy growing up thinking his Father is a horrible person so have never said a bad word about him but he is showing DS what he is like anyways *sigh*
I know how you feel. Always excuses, excuses, excuses. I too don't mention when we'll be seeing my exDP as you're not sure if he'll turn up or make another excuse and they'll be let down and their little hearts broken. It hurts knowing that the kids are missing out but then again if he's not going to be a decent father than they don't need that less-than half arsed crap.
You're doing a fantastic job. You're a wonderful mumma. Be proud of yourself!
Grrr isn't it annoying Jewel...they just don't seem to think of the effect they have on their kids. for you going through it too.
He rang tonight to say goodnight to the girls and DD2 wouldn't talk to him and DD3 mumbled something and ran of to play
He then went on to tell me how he went on his dads boat to the yacht club and is going out onto the canals tomorrow...it's alright for some
