Happy Father’s Day to the wonderful Fathers out there. I believe that fathers are an important component in a child’s life. I never experienced that father and daughter bond with my own father. There are days I wished that I had that closeness with my father. Even though I have my father in my life. It’s not the same. He struggles with his own demons himself, maybe that can be a reason he can’t be the father that I need. At age 33 it’s a void in my heart, that I can never fill because he’s not ready to change his ways.
Then there goes my son’s father what can I say without being negative about the situation. Well he’s my son’s father, is he the best father? My opinion NO. Who am I to judge right? Right! What can I do. My son is only 4 years old and his father has missed 90% of his existence. I try to be there for my son as much as I can, but I can’t be a father to him. I can only be his mother. I could only love, provide, and be there for him. I can’t be his father.
Some single mothers might disagree with me and says like “I’m a mother/father.” Well that’s your opinion. My opinion I can’t show my son the male prospective view That’s impossible, only a father figure can do that.
I don’t bash or talk negative about him in my son presence. Regardless I chose to have a child with this guy. Actually I encourage my son to call him to tell him he loves him regardless of the differences me and his father have. I even beg my son’s father to come around him and enjoy my son’s presence. Just to be there for him because I can’t show him the acts of life.
Every time my son ask for his father and calls him he doesn’t pick up the phone. It breaks my heart. I feel like I keep breaking my son’s heart every time. I have days that I’m so emotional because I let my son down for giving him a father like that. I sit alone especially at night and cry. Not crying for this man to come back to me but crying that I hurt for my son. I know how it feels when a father is never there for you. You can’t enjoy having a father around you to say I love you.
The mother that I am I’m not able to fill the void but, I’m able to put some positive men that love him. For that I’m grateful to God. Even though me and my father don’t have the best relationship he’s the grandfather to my son. My son loves his grandpa! My brother doesn’t have any kids but, my god he loves my baby like his own. These two impacted my son’s life in such a positive way. That I will always be in debt to them.
On that note HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to the men who are there for their children also, provide for them. Especially love them, protect,them even if they’re not their own. Thank you ☺️
