Q: "Hi
Joy, my 2 1/2 year old son surprised me with a
question... "Where's my Father ?" I was
not prepared to answer this question yet and am still unsure
how to answer it at an age appropriate level. His
Father and I split during my pregnancy after a 6 year relationship and
communication has been very difficult since. He says he wants to be a part of his life but fails to make the effort or do
anything to support him. My son is better off
without him but it still leaves the question. Any
suggestions? Amber."
A: "In reply to A.,
thank you for contacting us at SingleMom.com. Reading our Email, I
can see that you are a very independent woman. Obviously, you're doing a
great job raising your son without any help from the father. However, it's
not your son fault to blame. Your son should have to right to know about
his father. Even though, the father was never played any part in his life
since the day he was born. Sooner or later when he gets to preschool, he
will then learn that any kid should have a mother and a father. So it's
only a matter of time before you have to explain to him.
You want to explain it to him carefully that why his father is not
around in his life. Try to be calm and careful of what you tell your son,
because he's at this age, will remember it for a long time. Please don't
tell negative things about the father. Your son will eventually learn that
as he grows older. You want to give him love and support. It will help him
to deal with the whole situation better. He will see who was there and who
wasn't. Kids are very smart and sensitive with things happening around
them. It's only fair for him to know. At least, he doesn't have to learn
it from other people but from his mother. I wish you the best and please
let me know how things go for you. Take good care
and until next time."
I hope you find these
information and I wish you the best. Thank you for visiting
SingleMom.com."
