“What do I do when it’s a possibility that my child will never see him again?”
Editor’s Note: Occasionally we receive comments or stories from people that need and deserve to be heard and/or offered advice. We have therefore decided to open a new category on this site titled “Parents Seeking Advice”. The purpose would be to offer you, our readers, a place where you could speak out and get heard - and more importantly, receive advice or hear the opinions of real people who have been through similar experiences.
If you are interested in sharing your story with others, please send us your questions or stories to yourchildyourdivorce@gmail.com. Personal information of the contributor will remain anonymous at all times. Thank you.
My situation is a little different than the normal. My ex-husband has
raised my son since he was 1. Obviously that is who my son considers to
be ‘Daddy’. However, our divorce was final in July, and we haven’t
spoken in weeks. My son had an emotional breakdown this past weekend,
and I don’t know what to do for him. He misses his dad (or who he
thinks is his dad), but I don’t see my ex trying to be a part of my
son’s future. What do I do in this case when it’s a possibility that my
child will never see him again (because we live in different states)?
New PC Game Helps Kids Deal with Divorce and Separation...
This answer is painfully obvious… Anyone and everyone with any semblence of right and wrong knows that our children need, want and deserve to have BOTH parents as active participants in their lives. Your son is telling you that he needs his daddy, it’s time to be adults and do what is in your son’s best interest. There is no distance too far, nor any hurdle to difficult to overcome. Start the healing TODAY, right now, make the call, reunite this father and son. It is time that WE start doing what truly is in “Best Interest Of Our Children”.
