Dilemma: “How will I ever explain to my child that his dad isn’t interested?”

Hello lovely ladies, one of our Mum Spacers has an anonymous dilemma they would love some help with. We would love you to share your thoughts in the comments as this really is such a delicate subject so any advice, stories or tips would be so greatly received!

ANONYMOUS DILEMMA:

‘A few years ago I decided I wanted to be a mum but wasn’t in a relationship so was looking at going through donor sperm and doing it solo.

I had number of investigations for this route and was told I had a very thin lining and wouldn’t get pregnant naturally and they would need to do quite a bit of treatment for me use the donor.

Anyway long story short I started seeing someone (an old flame from years ago) and very quickly got pregnant to which I have a beautiful boy.

I found out I was pregnant through the clinic and was completely gobsmacked as were the clinic.

I told the guy straight away and to this day have never seen him again. Can’t say I've not heard from him as now n then he will throw some rubbish at me.

He didn’t want any more children. Then covid happened and was a great excuse for him to not come and have any conversations with me. Or understand my stance on any of it.

He was very much a wanted baby from my point of view and never any doubt and he is great.

My little boy hasn’t yet asked about his Dad but I do feel this is something that is coming. Def at that age of why/where/what kinda things.

Just wondering what you think you would say if in my position. Any help be greatly received.’
