Today my 4 year old asked me why Daddy hasn't been here and when was he coming to see us. So obviously I have no idea how to answer since "Daddy" left the family and chooses not to be involved. But how do you explain this to a 4yr old? So I skirted around the question and said I wasn't sure and he was probably just busy with work. He had a sad face but accepted that answer for now. Unfortunately I know he will ask again soon.
I could use some not so nice words in reference to Daddy but what good would that do? It won't change the situation and I would never ever say anything negative about him in front of my boys. That would only hurt them and they have done nothing wrong. Sadly the one most affected by the situation is my 4yr old. The baby is too young to know any different.
It is a harsh reality for me and many other moms who face similar situations when Daddy leaves. We are the ones left to raise our children and have to deal with the unanswerable questions and the hurt faces. We must hold our heads high and continue on with a smile on our face and love in our heart because we are the Mommy. And that's what our children deserve. :)
