I have 4 children, youngest is 5. My husband (their father), died 4 months ago. It's not easy for the little one to understand
(about death). After the funeral she asked how he could move in that box. I explained about the body being switched off but she asked when it would be switched on again. She will never ever see him again and it's tough, but she has us (me and my other 3 children). We all love each other very much and are strong people. I think children should have the right to know both their parents despite their parents differences it's not the childs fault. Unless the absent parent is in some way a threat either physically or emotionally to the child then parents should never try to turn their child against their parent, who is half of them. Children need to feel loved and wanted by both parents unconditionally

My girls dad moevd to another state shortly after our divorce. He goes through phases...he'll take them a every other weekend for a month or two then makes excuses about not taking them but NEVER takes them for holidays or summer vacation. He "plans" to take off and come for PTC but rarely follows through with it. It takes the child asking why other daddys are there but he is not. Then it'll hit home for him...of course if not then your going to be the mom and dad but thats ok too...we're women so we're built to take on more than one role. Keep your head up.As long as your there for that baby then thats what they will remember!

Yes, I am a single mom since my childrens' dad decided to pursue someone else. I was very angry about how little time he spent with them, how little they mattered to him, but in retrospect it may have been a good thing, because at least they learnt early that they had ONE parent they could definitely depend on

My son had zero contact with his father after the sociopath abandoned us when my boy was 17 months old. It was actually a blessing I didn't have to deal with him, and he had no family to bother me, either.
Sometimes very little contact (or none) is a GOOD thing!!
