My daughter asked me if her father was still alive today.I guess after him not being in our lives for over seven years,with absolutely no contact one would wonder if he was or not. How do you tell your child that their father doesn't love them or care? I don't know if he is alive or not,either way I will never know. His family is from Mexico and the last contact we had I knew that is where he was going. I have never lied to my children about their father,but I also never talk down about him.At some point I am guessing they would like to know the truth about him.I just don't know when I should tell them that.I know she remembers a little bit about him,but my boys don't.My 10yr old hates a man he can't remember and my 6yr old doesn't even know him. Then again his father doesn't even know he was born.Sometimes,there just isn't a way to explain things and I am somewhat lost as to what I will and should tell them. Maybe one day,just not today.
