peace, I am so sorry ((()))). How do they do it, if I lived forever I wil never understand. Your son is so young to be abandoned by his daddy. Mine (3) have had 3 interactions (half an hour or so face to face and probably as many phone calls of short duration in 10 years !!!) yes I said 10 years.They were in twenties when he left but it still hurts me. My daughter heard nothing for 6 years. Not blaming x entirely because they refused contact and possible didn't answer hs calls the first year but still he didn't try that hard. They have grown to be men you would love your daughter to marry. My daughter married and now has 2 children, all without her much loved Dad by her side. He has seen first child 3 times can count the hours he spent on one hand. Not sure he knows of no 2. Your children will get through this b/c of you and your love. They shouldn't have too, but life's not fair. My heart breaks for your children, but like me you will get them through this. Does he have male influence in his life so he will know most men are not like this. Stay strong.
