[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s your concern for your child then bases on this text to you?[/quote]

Dad is expressing regret. I don’t want to deprive my child of a relationship w/their father, but his past behavior has shown he isn’t a person to trust. Dad deprived child from a relationship with him, purposely.

I don’t want to harm my child by exposing them to a someone who may end up adding another layer of trauma and pain into their lives.[/quote]

Respectfully- you chose to make said child with an untrustworthy man. You can’t now decide that they can’t see them. If dad wants a relationship he has a right to one. [/quote]

When the divorce was final, my attorney had a clause put in the decree that any relationship between dad and child would be at the discretion and desire of my child. Dad had fled the state and refused any contact and didn’t pay any child support until several years after leaving. He wanted to give up rights to his child, which was not an option. I tried over and over to convince ex to stay in kid’s life.

When we married, my ex seemed trustworthy. People unfortunately change.[/quote]

Oh I know! Mine became an abusive alcoholic. I’m not sure what this has to do with dad’s rights. He can make bad decisions, he can do bad things, he can regret them, he can try to make amends.

The clause is only something you paid for to state the obvious. No one can force relationship so yes, all relationships are two way and require the permission/discretion of both parties.

In this situation a likely drunk DH texted his ex wife with sad regret, this doesn’t have anything to do with the child nor should child be brought into it. He has kids cell number. [/quote]
