We havent had any contact with my daughters biological father since I left just before she was 2, she doesnt remember him at all.
I got into a new relationship about as year later, my daughter took this man to be her father by her own choice she called him daddy, we moved in together, and now a year later, we have a second baby on the way.
Unfortunately for us the now that relationship didn't work out, and he has gone, and we cant see him at all because he has bail conditions not to contact us or come to the house. I am glad these conditions are in place as his behaviour was totally unacceptable and couldn't risk having him around anymore.
So now I'm single!
But my daughters been asking about 'daddy' and telling me she misses him, which is understandable, they had a lovely bond. Being so young she doesn't really accept his bad behaviour (when a disagreement broke out between us, he would start a bad argument). I tell her that its not her fault that he had to go, and he loves her and misses her too, but isn't allowed to come back because of his shouting, i sympathise with her, and give her lots of cuddles, and tell her that I love her and its just mummy her and the new baby now.
She doesn't know about her biological father, who we also have no contact with, I keep wondering how and when to tell her about him, would now be the right time or should I wait?
 
Sorry you're having to go through all this :hugs: so your daughter is about 4 now? I'm not sure at 4 if she'd be able to understand and process that the man she thought was her father isn't really but her biological father also can't see her.

Not much help because my son hasn't asked about his father (who he's never met - not my choice).

:hugs:
