A question to all separated fathers or even mothers! At what age did your little ones realise that you were their daddy and fully acknowledged who you were and ask mummy that they want to see daddy etc? Basically I know it varies but do any sepearated fathers have any experience with feeling really down when you your young ones are growing up without hardly seeing you at all and then their children becoming a certain age where all they want is daddy and you just felt like all that time apart had paid off? Thanks
I think it all depends on how often you see them and what you do during that time, and probably even more, on just how good the mother is at wanting the child to know and have a relationship with the father (there are lots who do). Probably not the answer you were looking for though.
I think it depends upon the child mentality to realize the children who you were......
