Hi I am new to this Group,
I am a singal parent of two beautiful boys 3 and 6. My ex husband played a very important role in my oldest boys life. Recently he left town with out saying good by, he promised my oldest that he was going to take them on a vacation and never did. Now my oldest is heart broken, he never even said good bye, he has not called or anything. My happy little guy now is not so happy at all, he just looks so sad and I want to fix it and make things better but I can't because I don't even know where his father is. It breaks my heart every night when I tuck them in to think how could someone just leave these precious little people that want nothing more then to be loved.

" That is a really hard situation to be in, your poor little boy is probably so confused and hurt. Sadly I don't think there is a great deal you can do other than be there for him and let him know how much you love him etc. I have come to realise that as much as you want their father to do the right thing and act responsibly you cannot force them to. What his father has done is very irresponsible (not to mention downright mean and thoughtless), I just hope he comes to his senses and decides to pick up the phone and call. "

" There is nothing you can do to fix this problem. All you can do is talk to your son and reassure him that it's not his fault his dad did what he did and it's ok to tell him that you think what his Dad did was horrible and hurtful and that you can't understand why and tell him that you hurt over it too. Just lots of hugs and understanding. "
