Your son is too young to understand or process the full truth of the matter. For now, I would recommend telling your son (when he asks) that his Daddy is far away and reinforce relationships with the others in his life like you, his grandparents, aunts and uncles etc.

Tell the truth. Always.
Your Dad isn't ready to be a father. I'm really sorry he feels that way because he is losing out on the best feeling in the world - that of being your parent. I love you and am proud to be your Mom - but sadly Dad isn't ready for that yet. I have no idea why he feels this way and I pray each night that he would change his mind.
Gosh I don't know if he'll ever be ready because time is the one thing we can't replace. We can replace broken toys. We can buy new clothes that fit. But we can't replace time.
And I feel really sad that he's losing out on knowing you and being your dad. But we can't always have everything perfect.
I feel that some day he will want to get closer to you. When that time comes, I would be most proud of you if you would welcome him into your life. But until then, all we can do is pray about this and be happy that we have each other in our lives.
And just know that you are deeply, deeply loved by me.

u dont have to tell him anything right now... if he knows the father in do time he will forget. when hes older u can tell him then that his dad walked away and there was nothing u can do..... my hubbys sorry *** dad left when he was 6months old. and has not try to contact him in 38yrs. i did find the man at 1 time cause our baby was sick and i needed medical history. and even then my hubby said get the info and hang up. that he didnt want me when i was a kid im grown and i dont need a dad now. that u can never miss what u never had. that his so called dad taught him one thing and thats to be a bigger man and a better father to always be here for his kids... u can raise a son without a man and he will turn out wonderful. i know my hubby did.

I would tell him that there are all kinds of families. Some families have mom's and Dad's and some don't. Tell him that you love him so much, there isn't room for any Daddy.
As he gets older, of course, you will have to add a little more as he is mature enough to handle more of the truth.

Tell him that he has a mother who loves him very much. There's no need to tell him about his father not wanting to be involved in his life. He's too young and it will just hurt his self-esteem. I agree with LB about reinforcing relationships with his grandparents.
