Comment on So you grew up with a dad who didn’t know how to express love? Here’s how it could be affecting you today by Emma.
I am 22 weeks pregnant, and I am no longer in a relationship with the baby’s father. However, I would like him to be a part of the baby’s life (it’s a little girl). He wants to be involved, too. But due to the circumstances I have to move out of state closer to my family so that they can help me. I feel terribly guilty for moving away and I am afraid I will jeopardize the relationship between the father and daughter. My ex is not opposed to me moving but acknowledges that it’ll be challenging for him to bond with the child. I want her to have a present father but at the same time cannot afford to stay in the same city. Can he bond with his daughter by visiting often? Will it adversely affect their relationship?
My friend tells me that it is not the amount of time he spends with her but the quality but I still worry and am consumed with guilt.
