[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I think DS didn't mean "I feel abandoned by my father and he isn't part of my life," but rather "Dad doesn't have dinner with us." Four year olds are pretty concrete. Instead, if you had asked him "Who loves you?" he might have dropped off the fish and included his Dad. The four year old may or may not even think it is a problem that he isn't seeing has dad that much right now - it might not even occur to him. He is using words the best he can and describing things he sees. I would tell your son that Dad IS part of the family, and will always be. Have your kid think of other people who are part of the family (grandparents, etc) who you don't see every day. Talk about love and care making family.[/quote]
