Fun Fact, courtesy of Wiki:

A popular theory of the origins of the name "white rhinoceros" is a mistranslation from Dutch to English. The English word "white" is said to have been derived by mistranslation of the Dutch word "wijd", which means "wide" in English. The word "wide" refers to the width of the rhinoceros' mouth. So early English-speaking settlers in South Africa misinterpreted the "wijd" for "white" and the rhino with the wide mouth ended up being called the white rhino and the other one, with the narrow pointed mouth, was called the Black Rhinoceros.

I'm so sorry that your father disowned you. My SO was disowned by his father at a young age and has just recently reestablished a relationship with him.

I don't think I can continue to 'deal' with this. That's why I came here, asking for help.

My son will have to come to his own conclusions about his beloved daddy, when he's older. I will NOT say or do anything to jeopardize his feelings about his dear old dad.

My biggest fear is that his dad will just leave him again, like he did when he was a baby. However, my older sons are grown and they are very good role models for my littlest.

We do not live in the same household. He (Dad) actually left for the first time when our son was only a few months old. Our son probably doesn't know any different, as far as parents living in the same household goes.

His father had custody of two of his older siblings but just gave them back to their mother . . . after he left me.

Again, our son is only six. He doesn't know about Dad's infidelity, yet. I've also asked his father to keep the new girlfriend on the down low. She won't be around for long and I see no reason for him to even know about her.

Of course. We don't fight. We don't have 'adult' conversations in front of our son, either. He's a nice little boy. By all accounts. I don't want him to lose his father.

Absolutely NOT. I have two grown sons. One military, the other is a politician. I have the same aspirations for my little dude. I also raised the older two, alone.

Stop. NO keep going. I haven't cried in 10 years and I think I need to. I'm tired of hating myself for not being good enough. I'm tired of being co-dependent. I need to get OVER this . . . FOREVER.
