My 8 year old son was upset 2 months ago when he found out about his mom's new boyfriend. He asked me, with tears streaming down his face; "daddy, why are we not enough for mommy to even try?"..... I just held him, told him I loved him, and said; "I don't have the answer to that and it would be better if he asked his mom".
Uh, not a father, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't you have said it has nothing to do with him?
