As sad at this  sounds, you cant force someone to love you or even  love their child.  If his  family is  preventing him from seeing  you and his child, the question is do you really want to be with someone who  doesnt have a back bone?

You need to call a lawyer and get a custody agreement if you don't have one. His father can not keep him from you because he doesn't like you. \n\nJust remember, as you go through a custody battle, though you may be angry at his father, be civil, everything you do will affect your son as well, and you don't want to hurt him.

Children never want to see their father with anyone other than their mother.  You and your boyfriend have to decide what your relationship is and then discuss it with the children.  Tell them that you want to include them in your relationship and hope that you can all find a way to do that.  You will have to be prepared to accept their answer whatever it may be.

i would go and visit him because he was my dad, not to just get something from him. if you sincerely want to meet him, then do so. after that, things will probably work out for the good of both of you.

Generally, you can not petition to bring your father. Whether he can come here on he VWP depends on where he is coming from.

It's quite simple and it's not really a spell. I do this whenever I want my son to come home from out playing early, like if I decide I want to go to the store or something, or whenever I want my boyfriend to call (or not call as the case may be)or any other friend for that matter, I have a friend who does it to me all the time too. It works really well.\n\nTake a deep breath, relax your whole self- this is the most important thing. \nNow picture yourself going to the place where that person is and telling them that they should call you, or come home now, or whatever. Say it very firmly, but gently. It's not an order, just a suggestion.\nThen bring yourself back to you are, and picture yourself talking on the phone with that person, or the person walking in the door, or going to the place you want to meet them or whatever.\nThen forget about it. \n\nIt doesn't always happen when you want it to, sometimes it takes awhile as it's all up to the whim and the convenience of the person. They won't call you if they don't want to talk to you. My son usually responds right away, but if he's really having fun it might take awhile. When my friend wants me to call him, sometimes he has to wait awhile before I get around to it. Usually I'm thinking, "Oh I need to give him a call" for a few days but I don't do it till it's convenient and sometimes he says, "I needed you on Friday, but I'm okay now". My boyfriend on the other hand, we respond to each other pretty quickly. If you know the person very well you and you do this regularly it becomes a very simple matter of pausing, breathing, closing your eyes, thinking "Call me please" really hard and going on with your day.

I am engaged also, and I don't talk to my father either. I have thought about asking my brother to walk with me, my mom past away a few years ago so that's not an option. Although I think it would be really nice to just walk alone, then all the attention will be on you and no one will even care about your dad not being there. Most people don't walk with their fathers these days\n-----As for the first guy who answered you by telling you to apolgize, tell him to go fuck himself he doesnt even know why you dont get along with your dad. Why should you go apologize????

Go to him personally in person is always better. Go to him when he least expects it. I believe you can take him down:) Start digging... lol

maadidi, My little boy is 4 and he just recently started to become attached to his father. My husband and I have been separated most of his life. Just this past year my husband and I reconciled and my boy has become a daddy's boy finally. Only because he became a part of my sons like on a daily basis. We are now separated again but my husband see our children now at least every 2 days even if its just a few minutes. And he spends all weekend with them and me. Make a bigger effort to spend time with your son. Also you have to find out the things he enjoys and do it with him. Always make him the center of your universe. Good luck.

Dear Jessica,\nI'm sorry.  \n\nPray about the broken relationship and be patient with your dad.\nFor the time being just send holiday cards or Thinking About You cards and don't expect anything for the time being.\n\nWhen something your son does reminds you of your dad, write a note and tell him about it.  Send a picture.  Be genuine.  Love him.\n\nAbove all draw near to your heavenly Father who loves you, your husband, your son and your dad.

All he can do is continue to fight, the weight of the continued fighting shows with the courts and eventually, I know it seems like forever right now, they will see the light and he will get increased visitation.  This also has to do with the child's age as well.  As he gets older he will get more time with dad, without a doubt.

Write a letter to your son's school with your signature and dont forget to enclose your family registration card (to show that the two of you are related),your ID and your son's ID. \nDone deal!

Try to encourage him by setting a good example yourself (reading, becoming sharper in your own skills, etc.); introducing him to the best quality of people you can find as friends; do things with him to develop the kind of relationship where he will listen to what you suggest; ask your son's school and teachers for ideas. Volunteer at your son's school - be around, be available, and be interested in all aspects of his life.

Happy Father's Day!  I like the idea of asking him.  Even though it is your day, ask him if he knows a good activity/place for celebrating Father's Day.  If he picks a place that is totally for him, ask him if that is something a father would enjoy.  Or, go to his place first, then tell him about yours.  Another option would be to pick somewhere that the two of you can be alone.  Enjoy the time you have together before he grows up.  (and he becomes too cool to hang out with his father or becomes too busy)  I like the kayak idea.

Try communicating via a letter.  Make sure that you use no language that is derogatory or that can be viewed in a different manner than intended.  Tell them that you appreciate their care for your son but as the child's legal parents you have decided that there will be no contact with the child's birth family.  You wish to build a strong sense of belonging with his (only) family and you will pick the time and manner in which to educate him as to his origins.\n\nIf she persists then ask your attorney to restrain her.

I answer this question on the basis of intitution and prayer there are ways to get back your son but not without great effort and penance but it is with you everything a friend of you or her is in the way but keep this confidential.

My ex-husband does see my daughter (3yr) but definitely not as often as I would like him to and esp not as much as my lil girl would like to see or hear from him for that matter. She has said things to me like "Daddy doesn't like me" and other random comments that should never come out of a child's mouth esp at that age. It literally breaks my hear to her think such things and it drives me crazy for the fact that I am powerless to do anything about it. I have made several attempts to tell him that he needs to spend more time with her and even told him what shes been saying...The girl has called my dog Daddy and even one of my female friends...You would think that would've been a wake up call to him but it wasnt. So I always tell her that he loves her very much and that he's just at work right now and would be here to see her if he could. I know it's a lie (well at least that he's at work and coming to see her) but the child does not need to know he choices and actions and if he continues on this path, she will learn it on her own in time. Don't say anything to a child this young about his father not wanting to see him. It will just hurt him and he doesnt deserve that. As much as it will probably kill you to do, just say positive things and at least for now make this child really believe that his father does love him and is there for him at least in spirit. It is your job to make this child happy and I know it is a tough burden to put up a facade to your lil one for someone who doesn't deserve this child's love or attention but it is his father and you have to do what's right. Once again I am deeply sorry that you are going through this and I am esp sorry that your son has to go through this too. I sincerely hope that his father comes around for him and stops being a selfish inconsiderate asshole. Good luck and please be strong not only for you, but for your son...youre all he's got and you need to be the better person in this.:)
