You are probab...Well done for giving him a chance.<br /><br />You are probably right that he does feel guilty.<br /><br />My son's father did a similar thing. <br /><br />He promised our son he would call at a certain time. My son waited, and waited, and waited. <br /><br />After a few hours, my son got upset and went on a drinking binge. <br /><br />I called my son's father and gave him an earful. <br /><br />He explained that he got the time zones confused (he was living on the other side of the world at the time) and was 12 hours out the wrong way. He forgot which way the time zones worked. I worked out what time he should call. <br /><br />I told my son what had happened and he gave his father another chance. This time, my son's father called right on time and they chatted for hours. <br /><br />That was 7 years ago. They are now really good friends and go camping and skiing together. They really are like peas in a pod. <br /><br />I don't know what the situation was in your case but my son's father did try to be there for me. <br />He was driven away with lies - he was told that he was not the father by my family and social workers that they had brought in (and probably bribed). <br /> <br />When my son's father stormed off, I had no idea why until he tracked me down 10 years later to apologise when he found out the truth. I ended up losing my son because single mothers were not approved of many years ago. I didn't even sign consent papers - they just took him and refused to return him, telling me that he deserved 2 parents but that he didn't deserve a poor single parent like me, despite the fact they admitted I was a good mother.<br />I just didn't get any support from anywhere when I was abandoned and betrayed by everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622045412938847718.post-91562383470654905822010-07-12T11:00:41.242-07:002010-07-12T11:00:41.242-07:00Well, I can tell he's your father!
I'm so...Well, I can tell he's your father!<br /><br />I'm sorry the experience had to be so...excruciating.<br /><br />There's something to be said for at least knowing--and now you know, no matter what.<br /><br />xxSunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13795973322596893070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622045412938847718.post-15447680810773560302010-07-11T04:48:21.466-07:002010-07-11T04:48:21.466-07:00Onya for staying!
