He will tell my son he will be at school programs, birthdays, etc. then fails to show. My son is 7, we live 1 1/2 hours away from the dad, my son is then crushed when he does not show. He will say there isn't the money, then will have a new high priced gadget the next time we are there. This past summer, he missed my son's birthday and then when we went to see him, he told my son he had a present for him, and then never gave it to him. His mom (father's) will send stuff for my son to him and my son never sees it. I could care less about the items, but my son is excited to know his grandma thinks of him and then is hurt when there is nothing there. I am tired of covering for his father, and do not know how to hold him accountable for his lack of being there.
Note: I am remarried and have a wonderful husband that treats my son like his own. He has raised him and been his Dad since he was 6 months old. It breaks both of our hearts to see my son hurting when his father fails to show.
