[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for these replies. Seems that the consensus is to stop reaching out to him, which is my thought as well. And that's heartbreaking for our DS.

To the poster who stated I'm asking a lot from him, am I? I've never sought child support, asked him to do any overnights, or created drama. I understand your point; he didn't ask to be a father. But I didn't ask to be a mom in the way that this happened, and DS is a blessing. Truly. And in life, when two adults decide to sleep together, babies are a possibility. Our responsibility in DS's birth is completely shared, which is why I believe we share responsibility for DS's emotional health. I am happy to take on everything else. But the kid needs his Dad. It pains me that my ex can't even do that, for a healthy child, with no special needs, who's a joy to be around (that is not a statement denigrating special needs children; I mention it only because those parents have huge extra responsibilities).

It just couldn't be easier. Except to him (ex), it's not. Now that DS is 3, I'm considering starting dating again, I'd really like this boy to have a good man in his life. I'd like that for myself as well. I guess we'll see.
