Thank you for responding. Yes so things between the father and I weren’t good we split up when I was about 28 weeks pregnant. He didn’t attend the birth, didn’t meet him until December 2020. We went through court as he requested paternity testing (despite knowing he was his) promised after that he would step up and be there but chose not too and instead had another child who is now my sons half brother. They are both born in October a year apart and the brother is the main reason I have been so willing to giving the biological father a chance as the kids deserve to know one another in my opinion. Fast forward to December, through his partner we started talking about everything, he explained his reasons for not being able to be there, apologies ect. Biological father asked to meet child and have supervised visits in public places with his other son. So it has all been very fast that it’s all come on like this but I can’t say in a bad way. I guess I’m wanting advice on what I should consider moving forward as things progress. Biological father is patiently waiting for the day I say I think it’s appropriate to discuss to our son the truth. What’s making it extremely hard though is my own partner (the one who’s been there since my son was 4 weeks old and who he calls dad) does not support me with this at all. He’s protective over his step son but also is not willing at all to ask how it’s going. I fear him not being supportive will only negatively effect the impact the conversation 10x worse when I am ready to tell my son about his biological father. I guess I’m just a mother being protective looking for answers why I shouldn’t try an unsupervised hour on the weekend when in all honesty they haven’t given me any reasons to think they couldn’t handle it. Sorry most of that doesn’t make sense I’m mainly looking for support and reassurance I’m not doing an awful thing by allowing my sons biological father one chance to be in his life. ... View more
