[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]NO[/b] to the parents getting involved.

There's nothing either of you can do.  He's decided and made it very clear that he does not want a relationship with his child.  You can't force someone to have a relationship.   Expecting him to suddenly change and become an involved parent is magical thinking.

After trying for over two years with no change in his position,  it's time for you and your friend to drop it.  If you want to help your friend,  help her to move on.[/quote]

OP here. It’s a quite sad situation overall. I’m trying to be very supportive for her as much as I can.

When my friend’s son will start going to school, he would probably ask her, where is my father? What does she tell him then?

OP, your task is to reserve your own judgment so this child doesn’t grow up thinking his is a “sad situation.” Support the child and try not to add to this stigma of his moms choices.

What did she think she'll say to the kid when she decided to have him without father's consent?[/quote][/quote]
