The important thing is that your child has a positive male role model, whether he is a biological father or not.<BR/><BR/>My stepson's egg donor (because that bitch is no way no how a mother) hasn't even had telephonic contact with him in well over a year. I'm the only mom that kid has, and while he calls me by my first name, I get the mother's day cards and the "I Love You's" and the hugs and kisses. I'm the one who is at his school functions and does activities with him. I'm the one who teaches him right from wrong and guides him on his path to becoming a healthy, well-adjusted, and responsible adult. And I'm the one that loves him, and he knows it.<BR/><BR/>Your Jackson will know who cared, and will thank you and Tim all the more for it.Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537739555215401385.post-18456808538010856202008-09-24T20:33:28.657-05:002008-09-24T20:33:28.657-05:00How do you explain indeed....with kind words, age appropriate and as few as possible. One day, those 'kind' words will be your safety...BELIEVE me! <BR/><BR/>But in all seriousness, considering the charges, be glad that your little one is NOT in his care for the weekend! <BR/><BR/>I wish you all the support, strength and cyber hugs you need....littlemansmomhttp://littlemansmom.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537739555215401385.post-65994004367976611232008-09-23T08:44:21.545-05:002008-09-23T08:44:21.545-05:00Thanks guys.

That really sucks. Parent-child relationships are so complex. You certainly don't have to answer for your ex's actions, and your son will grow up to form his own conclusions about his father. <BR/>I don't know how you explain it to him, but lots of hugs can't hurt.Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04697065958437118961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537739555215401385.post-70931189684154890542008-09-22T19:39:13.662-05:002008-09-22T19:39:13.662-05:00That just breaks my heart. Poor little boy. At least he has you though. But we all want a daddy we can look up to, don't we?Sizzlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00182860438430294750noreply@blogger.com
