[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is off-topic, but did he have a normal relationship with the child before his affair was exposed?

I guess, given your kid's outreach attempts, there was positivity to the childhood years before age 8 or so?

Are there any hobbies or interests they still could share?

I have teenage sons and they can be very hard to talk to.

Last night, I had the longest conversation I've had with my younger son in a long time.  And basically it consisted of us watching 45 minutes of Instagram reels about dopey stuff on his phone.  Things like AI babies talking like grownups.  We also sometimes exchange meaningful thoughts while he's being driven to and from school and activities.[/quote]

Ex is a workaholic and I have always been the primary caregiver and parent.

Dad and kid had a fairly normal relationship. Kid had a lot of developmental issues (still does) and I dealt/deal. Dad didn’t spend much time with kid. But we made the most of our family time.

Yes, kid reached out to dad. Kid’s calls were answered exactly 2 times. Dad got off phone asap. Final call, dad actually got upset that kid wanted to talk. I became enraged inwardly and stopped trying to support the relationship. F that guy if he thought he was going to treat his kid like that.[/quote]
