Can you contact a family member? Don’t do direct contact with him.. he should be mature for his child’s sake but doesn’t sound like that will happen so try and put something else in place for your daughters sake x

I’d let it go. The fact he blocks you tells you everything

I agree w/ , if you contact a family member maybe they’ll be able to get through to him. It doesn’t seem like he’s making an effort at all, considering he blocked you. Good luck mama! Feel free to reach out!

Wow he's really showing how immature he is. What if there was an emergency with your daughter? He wouldn't know. I'd go via a family member/friend and say she's wanting to talk to you. His reaction would then completely decide the next steps x

Ugh. I’m so sorry!! I think you should contact a family member to get ahold of him so he knows how damaging his behavior is. Also so family knows.
This is very immature of him.

okay. i leave for a trip in a day i figure he would call to check on them or to at least see the girls before we leave. we did leave on pretty bad terms but still, this will be our first time on a plane

some people just can’t put their emotions to one side which is really sad when children are involved!
Definitely avoid direct contact, messages only to family member. Don’t do phone calls so nothing can get twisted on you!

Yes contact him but also suggest a parenting app like Lear ong genie or something to communicate about daughter and everything that comes with that. U can message she's asking about him and if a good time to call. Let him respond, then have him call etc. You can also use whatsapp to make calls instead of the regular way.

Let the dust settle and then you will see how badly he will want to be a part of his kid’s life without using the kid to manipulate and hurt you .

Contact a mediator though court

what. He should totally be there for the kids and you. Even if you did fight.
Did he end up showing up or calling?

I hate this because this doesn’t support mom or child. So mom is just supposed to let dad come and go as he pleases yet mom is on duty 24/7?
What does waiting around for him to show up do?
Genuine question. ♥️

I understand the frustration, but a loving father would not abandon his kids no matter what , and we don’t know the entire story and details , but if the major fight had occurred and they got separated recently it’s better to give a week to see where they both standing . A kid would definitely ask about the father , it’s normal . And it is understandably painful . A good father will come and take care of the kid and take 50% responsibility to care for a kid , but we don’t know who she deals with so it’s hard to speculate.
