Been to see them tonight after work. My son didn't say anything to me and didn't even acknowledge I was there.
Ever just think to yourself what's the point. They are getting along just fine without you and are you actually doing anything worth while dropping in and out to see them or taking them out..
The point is that he knows you are going, and eventually, that will begin to sink in that you are doing so for a reason. If you stop going, you ex is going to hammer it home that you have abandoned him. SO it might seem that there is no point in going, it's a long term plan and once the first glimmer of recognition is there, it will get better.
Thanks. But that has already happened. It has been hammered into home by people that I haavee abandoned him to go live with a new family....
I mean some of the messages I have received from him are just not right. I couldn't post them on here for the foul language and things he has called me.
I just hope to God he sees the reasons soon, I fear I will lose him forever. If I haven't already.
The only hope I have is at least my daughter is too young to realise what's actually going on yet. But then even she has stopped running up to me shouting dad. And it's breaking me down so much.
Do you have your son on his own one sunday and then your daughter the following sunday on her own?
I used to. But he doesn't want to any more. His choice not mine. And I can't force him to come out with me. I try and just keep trying. But it's getting to the point where I'm just tired of trying.
