Hey all
just after a bit of advice, my ds's real dad is a bit of an arse and he hasnt seen him in over a year. Despite my best efforts to keep them in touch it was beoming near on impossible with his girlf causing a scene everytime i drove him there.
Anyway Im now with a new DP, he is wonderful with ds (aged 4) and they have just started learning all about families in school, He came home last night and said to DP "x you are my new daddy arent you?" it was very sweet and my DP explained he was his step daddy and his daddy lives far away with his partner and their son.
Then to my shock, DS said "well mine old daddy is in prison"!!!!!!
I have no idea where he got this from and tbh its rattled me alot. He is not in prison he lives 200 miles away with his partner and their 2yr old son who my ds hasnt had much contact with either. I jut didnt know what to say.
Been thinking about it all night and absolutely horrified he may have told his teacher this in school! Ive decided we need to tell him about his real dad and try to explain why he doesnt see him? Any ideas?
