Children in the middle class

jjdillie

BD and I had to take a "children in the middle" class over the weekend. It was court ordered as part of the child support case. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The biggest takeaway for me was I can't make BD be the father I want him to be. It's up to him to be a father to DS. In the end, DS will know what kind of father he has and I can only hope that BD won't disappoint. When I was pregnant I thought BD would be a wonderful father no matter what happened between us but my opinion has since changed. He never checks on him. He went over a month without seeing him (granted, he was sick 2 weeks, but what about the other 3 weeks of no visits?). He's so selfish and accuses me of being dramatic (because I told him he needed to make his son a priority or not be in his life). So from now on my only focus is my son.
