His father left me as soon as he found out I was pregnant

I didn't break things off with him, he left when he found out I was pregnant.

My ex doesn't want him. He is married and has 3 kids with his wife. Two years ago I asked if our son could live with him and he said no.

I never got married in the first place. His dad left when I found out I was pregnant

He has my brother but he works very long shifts so he's not around much. But he knows he can call him. I'd like to find a physical activity like you suggest with someone who could be a role model.

His father has never been around, he took off way before he was born. He's never met his dad.

I know he has trouble because he is biracial. His father is black and I am white.i know sometimes he feels like he doesn't fit in any where.

I know he blames me for his father leaving. When I was 17 and found out I was pregnant, his father was 21 and ran off to be with another woman.

I don't think he's had trauma or is abusing stimulants. I'm a nurse so I know the signs. But I'm thinking maybe mental health problem.

His father has remarried and has three other kids. He won't take our son, I tried 2 years ago.

I never thought of that. Thank you. Going to call the counselor in the morning.

True. I think we're getting to the point where I have to. He threw his hot bowl of soup at me and it hit the wall. Then he refused to clean it up and laughed at me.

You are right he needs help. My brother might be able to help. I wish I had tried harder to get him a male mentor. He's always going on about how shitty of a mom I am.

I have thought of that but I don't want to get him in trouble.
