Hey there BD!
Well, I have asked WH what he thinks being a father is, and so have 2 pyschologists, and he can't get his head around it. He's happy to be a long-distance father.
What does that entail?
Well, noone really knows!!
Some suggestions have been visiting once a year, calling & emailing for news and photos, paying child support, and perhaps Skyping with her.

Of course this is all bullsh!t fathering...and given she is a newborn, what good is skype to her? And how does he think he is going to acheive all this when things with me are soooooo bad & it all needs to pass via me?
