How do I deal with breaking up with my sons mother & not seeing my son daily who is only 8ms old?

Isnt there a situation present there where he could forget who is father is? I love him and dont want to be apart from him but there may not be any alternative. This feels so terrible.How do I deal with breaking up with my sons mother %26amp; not seeing my son daily who is only 8ms old?
well there are a ton of fathers who do not live with their childrens mother and see them every day sometimes. As long as you are a constant source in his life he won't forget. I mean my husband is in the army and leaves all the time, right now he is gone for two weeks, then he has to leave for a month and then of course there are the year and a half deployments, and none of my children ever forget him, not even the baby. You need to arrange to pick him up from day care, take him to the park in the afternoon or evenings, take him to the zoo ( or whatever you have close to you ) make sure you set up a written visitation schedual with the mother, if she is trustworthy, you could write one up together with all the legalities ( like she will make him available on your days and times, and you will give her 2 hours notice ect. ) and then have it notarized. If not, get a lawyer and get those written in stone by a judge. If you can, go to counseling and try to work things out with the mother. Counseling really does help, that is only if you want to, never stay together for children. Good luck.How do I deal with breaking up with my sons mother %26amp; not seeing my son daily who is only 8ms old?
Sorry for your sadness, however, maybe you should have thought about this before you broke up with her. There is counseling.
Too many missing details. Bottom line, if you are the biological father, you have parental rights which include visitation, so you should be able to have a healthy relationship with your son. However, as I said, there are too many missing pieces. For example: WHY would there not be any alternative?
you breaking off with the mother not the baby


you make sure that you see him daily


try to be on good term with the mother


always volunteer to take him


if you take your place as a father no one can get BTW the two of you


Good luck
My heart goes out to you. I cannot imagine being in your shoes. I can only offer that hopefully you will at least be able to see your son a few times a week at minimum. Maybe overnight or over the weekend. Work something out with the childs mother and make sure you tell her that you want to be an active father to your son.
A friend of mine has an arrangement with his ex where they have the children one week at a time each. For some this may only work while the children are not at school but if you live close to each other as our friends do, you could continue to do it because everyone is used to life that way and it works really well ! Of course if this is not relevant to you, I would hope things don't turn nasty between you and your ex and you can see your baby son whenever you like on no set terms. Coming from divorced parents and a violent father, believe me it is no fun when you can't even have your parents invited to the same function. It begun for me 20 years ago and I am 29... Best of luck !!!
There are people who get seprated all over the world, grandparents who live far away....aunts and uncles....and children remember and love them no less.





Remember to spend as much time as you can with him, and love him and he will remember you and be excited to see you
