I’m 26, don’t feel abandonment or self blame at all. My “dad” didn’t want me, that’s on him, not me. I’m glad he’s not in my life. I don’t miss him because I don’t know him to miss him. I have the best (step) dad I could ask for and he’s the only man I’ll ever need as a father figure in my lifeI don't want to offend anyone here but I feel like a sad fact is that children who have an absent parent the way Charlotte's twins Dad is they are likely to feel abandonment and self blame when they grow up and are old enough to understand that he's not around.

Just trying to say where the original poster is coming from and I didn't say all children will just that it is likely to happenI’m 26, don’t feel abandonment or self blame at all.

I know, I’m just talking from my personal experience and wanted to give a different perspective on it from someone who was that child with no dadJust trying to say where the original poster is coming from and I didn't say all children will just that it is likely to happen
I’m not saying they feel it when they have a step parent but it seems to be most single parents that say it “they won’t miss what they don’t have” or go on about saying they’re mum and dad you know the ones that make a point on Father’s Day and to try and big themselves up and point score.I’m 26, don’t feel abandonment or self blame at all.

but they’ll just know there’s something different to them to the other kids when they only have one parent and the others have two. But having a step parent helps them not feel that different. I’m not saying it’s only over the biological parent
You can't stop them but not gunna lie I would be gutted if my daughter went for her first time to Disney without meOop. Imagine how Charlie feels about this one
If she’s gutted though she couldn’t just get a real job so she earns enough to take HarlowYou can't stop them but not gunna lie I would be gutted if my daughter went for her first time to Disney without me
That’s true. If that was me okay you took her to Disney land, let me save enough to take her to Disney worldIf she’s gutted though she couldn’t just get a real job so she earns enough to take Harlow
I know , I'm thinking more from my point of view with my child duck CharlieIf she’s gutted though she couldn’t just get a real job so she earns enough to take Harlow
I don’t think she has. Butlins is as far as she seems to go.Doubt Charlie has ever left the UK or England tbh.
Oh I feel the same way that’s why I put it on here when I saw it. I’d cry if my kids dad took my kids before I didI know , I'm thinking more from my point of view with my child duck Charlie

I did come from a single parent household and had many friends from single parent households and I can say my friends did say they missed out on the other parent when it came too holidays or when they heard people in class mention they’re parent were taking them places or spending time so I would appreciate it if you didn’t patronise me just because I pointed out something you didn’t like just because your experience is different. So maybe actually consider people making these statements actually have experience instead of being patronising.Did/do you have both parents or did you have a single parent household? There's been a few people who have said they didn't have a parent in their life and they're glad they're not or don't feel they've missed out. Again, when you come from a single parent household or are in one, your child or you as a child obviously knows something is different because you don't have 2 parents. But as long as the one parent you have does everything, gives you everything you need, explains why the other parent isn't in your life without slagging them off and just gets on with raising you, you'll soon see that, that's the only parent you need. You'll see that the other parent is useless and why would you want someone in your life like that thats going to upset your peace.
She probably hasn’t got a passportDoubt Charlie has ever left the UK or England tbh.
So you came from a single parent household and you're talking about your friends experiences and not your own? Riiiight. Im not being patronising, if anything you were at the beginning getting on as if coming from a single parent household was the worse thing in the world. Your views sound like they belong in the 1800s tbh.I did come from a single parent household and had many friends from single parent households and I can say my friends did say they missed out on the other parent when it came too holidays or when they heard people in class mention they’re parent were taking them places or spending time so I would appreciate it if you didn’t patronise me just because I pointed out something you didn’t like just because your experience is different.
