How To Explain Your Partner's Abandonment To Your Child

How do I explain my partner's abandonment to my child?

When you're in a situation where the father lives in another state or has a new family and isn't really spending a lot of time with your child, it's hard on your child. The best thing that you can do is just keep letting him or her know that she's deeply loved and set something up that maybe they can get letters or emails or something. If there is no contact at all, then bring in another role model, whether it's a big brother or a big sister, something to not replace the father but to be there in place of.
