Xavier was a close friend of mine for a few years; we had a very sexual relationship that was protected 95% of the time. He was, well at least I thought he was a good man, he was a good father to his kids a student and he had been in the military for almost a decade. I never expected him to be my man or anything but I sure expected him to be a father to his son especially after he got his DNA test results back. But 7years later Shannon will not call my son, nor spend time with him, Shannon has not seen his son in 6years. He won’t pay child support, oh wait I'm sorry I get $22.47 twice a year from him.
My son Poppie who has just turned 7 in December is starting to act out, he asks me over and over why his dad does not want him. Poppie has even begun to lie and steal; I believe he is acting out because in his mind his dad will come to him to make him stop being bad. Whenever I call his dad to ask for his help, Shannon tells me that he does not have the time to spend with Poppie because he has two jobs and he lives with his girl friend. How do you tell an innocent child your dad is never coming home, so stop acting out, well you know without breaking his spirit. |
