Forward I no longer think that ex will be in touch with either myself or son, I think it as all been far too long gone, I personally will never ever understand how he could just abandon and forget about his only child, and I too hope that he only pops out of the woodwork when he needs help from son, that would be just so unfair, harsh as it might sound but if he cannot contact him for any other reason then why when he needs help, or on another note if he is on his death bed, nope sorry to say I dont think he will ever be in touch again, I think he is waiting for son to go to him, if that happens it happens but not in the near future do I see son running to him, regards forward, keep smiling hun xxx
