my son's father is NOT in his life . he has been out of it for 6 yrs . My B/f has had 5 yrs and has never done much emotionally for my son . I thought that B/F being the adult and my son not really knowing if he would want to take him ..it just would of been nice for the B/F to step up ..The B/F doesnt live with us ..He really isnt there for me emotionally either ..I love him very much but thinking its time to let go ..My children are my first priority and I think he has a problem with this ..thank you all so much for responding
