I have a question.It mostly boils down to this: as time goes by, our four year old's father has seemed to disconnect from her more and more. He has moved away(We are in VA, he is in MI.) and rarely uses his visitation. When I call to keep him posted on school, medical, church, ect. the only reply is something along the lines of " ok, is that all? Bye, then." I have sole custody because he basically gave it to me, but have always worked around his schedule when he has decided to use visitation, never badmouth him or his new wife, and call and try to involve him with all important things.
As our daughter grows, she is now getting worried about " why doesn't he like me and want to see/ talk with me?" He hasn't seen her, by his choice, for but four weeks in the last year and a half and won't see her until summer of next year. He will not speak with her on the phone except immediately prior to her visits.
Many friends of mine have gotten the raw end of the deal when it comes to custody, and I was wondering if there is anything that I am overlooking that a ncp might want or need? Is there something I am doing wrong?
