I mean look at that face! He is priceless. How can his father NOT give a crap about him? My little boy has NEVER done anything wrong. My ex is an a$$hole. How can he be so cold hearted?

sorry darling

i think you answered your own question

It just breaks my heart. Sorry for whining everybody. Guess I am just having a moment.

It's amazing that there are people like that. But, it sounds like you have way more than enough love to give and that your boy really isn't missing a thing with a father like that.

its called hes selfish and only cares about hisself.hit him in the pocket book...then he will care about that...maybe

its sad that people can be so cold to there own kids

its the fathers loss.

unfortunately, the kids get stuck in the middle, don't they?

I'm sorry to hear your pain. I have the same problem. It's probably not about your son at all. It's usually misplaced anger and resentment towards you. But it doesn't hurt any less.

Be the best mom you can be, which I'm sure you are, and remind him how special he is and he will be ok. When my girls ask the hard questions, my response is "Daddy just makes bad choices. But he does love you." this allows them to make their own choice how to judge their Dad without making me the bad guy.

Because I know deep down in that dumb, self-serving head of his he does love them, no matter how warped it is that his shows it.

Some father's don't care once a child is brought in to the world! I am so sorry he feels that way! He is beautiful! As long as you have each other, he'll be just fine!

how about when the -------- calls and is so obsessed with you he doesn't even bother to ask to talk to the child

no it's not whining....it is hard to comprehend.....for you.. for me...for a lot of people.....hopefully you have another "male" figure that can "be there" for him....uncle ...grandpa...etc...

I feel your pain I have 2 boys that couldnt pick their mom from a line up. We havent heard from her in 12 years. The only thing I can tell you is that he will remember all you have done for him and he will also remember what he (the A$$hole dad) has done.

i see it all the time......guys are ****s....... well not all of them but there are a lot of them that just leave and don't want anything to do with there own kids. it really does suck on the kids cause they usally grow up wondering what it was they did wrong and it never is about them but you can never really explain that to them

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. It really means a lot. He does not live at home. But I will never stop fighting until he is. I am just missing him like something fierce. He use to ask where daddy was, and I use to say he was at work. But as days go by he has stopped asking. But just because he is not in my care does not mean the father can not see him. He has every opportunity and he just let them all pass by. He use to be a little boy who looked up to his dad. But as months pass by I have seen that admiration fade.

He is adorable.

Some men were not meant to be fathers.

It's his loss.

I hate to hear this because I am a single dad raising 4 wonderful boys. It makes me sooo mad to hear about how some guys can be that way.

that is sad........thats the reason no matter what i am always going to be around for my boy...........

i agree.....i have a couple of friends with kids and the way that they say the father treats the kids makes me sick... tell them you will be there and never show up...what kind of father does that.........

I admire each and every man that steps up and takes responsibility. It takes a lot of strength and courage to do it. And I respect each and everyone of you guys
