fathers day coming up...

[stevon111]

Hey peeps

I'm feeling really nervous about fathers day i haven't had a card or anything in 3 years and ive always been around since the day my daughter was born.. fathers day really gets to me...it gets me really upset and i just dont show it towards LO mother... each year i will always get a mothers day card for my Ex and some chocolates and i cannot believe i do this after what she did and caused after cheating on me.

This year i feel like being dead brave and feel like expressing my emotions that ive never been acknowledged as a father and just a simple piece of paper with happy fathers day wrote on it would just mean the world to me it really would...i cant express how happy i would feel just to be acknowledged for a change...ive always had my daughter for 2 nights each weekend and have never ever let her down..anytime shes sick im always worried and want to keep in contact etc etc

i don't know wether just to not say a word and carry on like its not an issue or just to say how sad it is that 3 years down the line and i cannot just get something as simple as that... maybe when our little 1 gets to 3 then she can start doing things like that for me at nursery or something then its coming from her i just dont know

Hiya, sorry to hear this, I do think that once your daughter is in nursery etc then you fill find she makes cards and things in there. As she grows up she will be able to show appreciation in her own way, whereas while she is so young it would really just be a gesture from your ex iykwim.

All the best x

I'm so sorry that you're not acknowledged. From your posts it's obvious how much you want to be involved. It's heartbreaking that you're doing all you can but getting no appreciation. I would have loved my ex to have shown any interest in LO.

Sorry she is doing this, especially when you get her a present for Mother's Day. Don't despair too much, it won't always be like this. Your LO will grow up and start acknowledging this day herself for you. I also think you should always do what you are doing and your LO will start building memories now of her Daddy always being there for her and it will get better and better as she gets older. Her Mother will not be able to influence her all her life, so you will win in the end as this will enable more time with your child when she gets older. Just stick it out and be the good Dad you are and karma will get your ex one day if she continues to think of herself and not her child. And that's the thing isn't it? All the time, she should be thinking of what her child would want and what her child needs and she doesn't, so , children are clever buggers as they grow up. Your little girl will get pissed off with her Mum for keeping her from her Father who loves her or for making life difficult for you. It's a dangerous game to play. As much as I can't stand my ex, I will never say a bad word against him to his son.

Happy Father's Day from us !
