[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is in this position now. 
Although its been only 3 years. (She is 20)
I'm just worried he will continue to disappoint 
Her and in time disappoint her child. 
[b]You could always send a birth announcemt and let him
make the first move. [/b]
In my ex husbands case the new wife forbids contact with my daughter. [/quote]

I've thought about doing this as well, [b]but I guess I'm scared about him not responding and then being very angry.[/b][/quote]It strikes me that you should only send a birth announcement because you think he may want to know, not because you're hoping he will respond and be at least a little of the dad you wish he'd been.  [/quote]

I am hoping that he would respond and be a good grandfather, but Im concerned that he wont which would make me angry at myself for reaching out against my better judgement.[/quote]

OP here again. To provide a bit more context. When I got married, he wasnt invited, but a mutual family friend who was invited told him in hopes that he would reach out to me. He did not, which didnt surprise me, but they were very shocked. Similarly, when I graduated from high school, I sent him an invitation, but he did not show up.[/quote]
