What can I say to help with the abandonment, self esteem, trust, an loneliness issues. He lets child know, he is having a family party, but "you" can't come. Child keeps hoping, I say he loves you to his best ability, and his ability is not as great as other dads you know. What else can I say? He has told child he wants to give up his parental rights, so he doesn't have to pay child support. Blames child for his present shaky marriage being shaky, as to why he choses to not be there for this child. I am too worn out to go looking for a new man to replace the dad this child's never had in her life, except here and there to his selection of times. With father's day tomorrow, child wants to reach out again. I know he is having the rest of the family over, one of them told me he planned it over 3 weeks ago, and he doesn't intend to spend a moment with this child. How do I distract child from trying to be a part of his day tomorrow, so no pain is felt? Child will be 12 soon.
