What have other’s told their child growing up about why they only have 1 active parent? To be honest and say he’s never played the roll of a father only someone that used to say hi for a couple hrs each week and now doesn’t bother. What has the least emotional I’m packed on the child?
Im a single father of three. When the mother said she wanted out of a 23 year marriage and she didn’t want the kids.
I have told my children the truth about her. I have never glossed over anything albeit a lot of people have disagreed with me.
Be honest
I think it depends how old your child is. I’m assuming 7 or younger.
I think you need to be honest and say that some people aren’t very good at being daddies, he wasn’t happy and so you’ve decided to be a family of two.
My ds wanted details so he could join in with playground chatter – daddy’s name is Fred, he likes Man Utd, has brown eyes and is a builder or whatever. More questions will come up over time.
My little boy is 6 years old. His Dad and I split up when I was 17 weeks pregnant and he has never been involved. My little boy has started to ask a few questions, what is my Daddy’s name etc. I have previously told him that Daddy didn’t want to be friends with mummy. He has now asked me when his daddy stopped liking me. I know there are going to be more questions.
