My son is four years old and I don’t want his dad to be part of his life. Let me start from the beginning. We dated for about three years two of which my son was born. When we lived together, I started noticing things coming up missing here and there. At first I just thought I misplaced them and continued to look all over the house. First it was my camcorder, then my cell phone (which i replaced), my digital camera, some jewelry and other miscellaneous items. When i finally realized that I wasn’t just misplacing them and losing my mind, I found out my son’s father was stealing them. He was pawning them or selling the stuff to whoever would buy it for money. I couldn’t understand why but then it all came to me. He has had an on and off drug problem for awhile (which he reassured to me was taken care of). Why else would my stuff be dispearing and he’s the only one to blame? Then the sh*t finally hit the fan when i received my tax return on a credit card and I discovered $800 was missing. The card was in my wallet so someone obviously put it back after they used it. After some investigation, I found out that he bought some clothes at an Urban clothes store and some cell phone cards from a convenient store which could all be stuff easily sold on the streets. So, of course I followed my instincts and told him to leave. He stayed at his brother and sister in law’s house and come to find out she confirmed that he has been abusing drugs b/c she caught him smoking crack in her basement. This is my second child and my first never had a real family (me and his dad separated when I was pregnant). So, being a woman I thought I could change him and he wanted to change for me. I bought him a car, got him into GED classes and helped find him a job 9he couldn’t keep one b/c of his problem. Eventually, the car was impounded, he lied and said he was going to the classes and wasn’t and lost his job again. Well, I gave him more chances and every time he either stole my things or left the house in the middle of the night to go use drugs. Eventually, I smartened up and made him leave after all the verbal and physical abuse he put me through for two years. I finally realized I cannot raise my children in this kind of enviroment and with these kind of examples. After I kicked him out he continued to harass me. He would break into my house, steal my things. He stole stuff from my dad and my mom’s wedding rings. My oldest son’s playstation was stolen and when I replaced it with a Wii, that was stolen also. Along with the change out of his piggy bank!! I couldn’t believe he could stoop that low to steal from a 5 year old. But then again, it is him. I got a pit bull and the break-ins haven’t happened since. My son loves his dad and I know it. I’ve tried to give a chance with him but every time I do he makes broken promises and it makes me so sad. I filed for child support and he is alreayd $6k in the hole. My son begs me to see his dad and I feel so bad telling him no but i don’t feel like he is safe with his dad at all. i have a fiance now and he wants to adopt him. I know his dad won’t sign the papers. His dad calls and wants to see him. i tell him no every time and my son gets upset. i’m in a predicament but i just need some reassurance that i’m making the right decision. i don’t want my son to resent me when he’s older. what should I do?
I wanted to add his dad tells me he doesn’t do drugs anymore but then I saw he has a warrant out for his arrest for theft recently.
Farplace…you obviously didn’t even read the question and just jumped to conclusions. i am not with his dad, haven’t been for two years (lesson learned). Since you seem to think you know what you’re talking about you should know that everyone makes mistakes and so do you. I think I am just going to go with my gut on this one an professional advice and not let him see him until he can prove that he is clean and is going to set a good example for him. Thanks for the advice but I think i will go with some advice a little more intellectual and constructive. FYI…I noticed you spend a lot of time answering questions. Maybe if you put in that much time into being some kind of counselor your opinion will matter
Also, I will not report you for abuse b/c it’s not that serious.
Oh yea and I do have a restraining order…so I guess if I do decide he is worthy to spend time with my son then I can maybe have a trusted family member o friend take him for a supervised visitation.
