My Daughter's Father won't see our daughter!!

[Poppy85]

This is my 1st time on this site as a friend recommended it to me as I am going through a rough time at the mo.
I have a 5 year old daughter with my ex partner but he doesnt seem interested in her at all. I have tried so many times to get him to see her but he seems far more interested in his 'new family'. My daughter now seems to except the fact her father is like this but it is so wrong. We have been to court so many times but since his son has been born he seems to have lost all interest in our daughter!!
Is anyone else going through this, I dont know what more I can do.
Thanks

Alberqwerty,

I was on my own from 2 months pregant and not one day have I regretted having her. I have always been proud to call her mine and was happy to share her with her father if he wanted to, It was frustrating at times, but everything she is I have been there for, she is 16 and will soon be making her own way in life.

I don't feel any pain at all for what we have been through, it has been an adventure and I may not have always been the best mum in the world, but I have been the best mum I have been able to and it seems to have done us ok.

The only thing is now she does not call him dad, he is called Simon, Her choice and I see no benefits in telling her the truth about it all. I was on my own until 3 years ago with her and we have grown up together.

I let go of any anger the day I felt her move in my belly, probably before. But then it may be a lot easier when you don't live with the father!

Of course she will, stop beating yourself up! Just promise never to lie to her about what happened and maybe tell him that too. You may just find that she really is not interested in what happened......

Good luck.

I was brought up my a 'step' dad and my mum with no contact at all with my biological father. I always referred to my step dad as dad and told him on many occassions that 'anyone can be a father, it takes someone special to be a daddy' - I also looked on the fact that the 'chose' to be my daddy from all of the other mummies and children he might have picked - it was very comforting when I was younger.

LDC134 - Thats a lovely thought, I may use that!! I do believe any way can make a baby but it does take a real man to be a daddy!!! She is better off without
