maybe some of this can help you -

Mom and Dad need to sit down and talk about the situation if possible so that they are on the same page. especially if the child is going to have contact with the dad.

give the child a picture of the dad so the child has something tangible to hold on to and talk to if he wants.

Make arrangements for the child to call the dad if possible so they don't have so much homesickness and emotions about the issue. There is going to be some but this might diffuse some of it,

Get dads address so that he can write to his dad.

basically since the dad isn't home make all kinds of opportunities for contact if possible so that the childs feels less abandoned and left out of dads life.

Thanks Myself....... some of that will and can be used.... but sadly enough right now this man (if you can call him that) does not care one way or the other about this little 5 year old boy that NEEDS him so.... and the other two are still young (9mths & 1.5 yrs) so maybe they will be spare some of the pain.... for now.

LoVe,
Rhapsody -

P.S.

KimmyDawn I would like to have your input on this one..... with you having to be raising your own "little man" - that of which the 5 year old boy was called when he was younger.
