I feel for you mommy. I think most of the moms here understand the subconscious desire to go out of your way. It's the hardest thing in the world not to do that but I agree with your dad. You want to go that extra mile and extend yourself so that those people will come because you know that your son deserves that love but what you're forgetting is that YOUR love is enough! You might think that your son has this void where daddy's love is supposed to be (I know I thought that), and kids are smart so I'm sure he sees the difference, but he is not unloved because he has YOU!!! And the love you have for him (trust me on this) can fill him up. He may take notice of certain people not being at his party but you just have to focus on the people who are there. He will eventually follow your example. Besides if the party's at Chuckie's he probably won't even notice. My kids don't even notice me when we're there lol.
For myself it was the hardest thing to let go of the expectations of my kids' dad to want to be around. I felt like it was my job to keep pushing and pushing so that they would have their dad around but how much is his presence really worth if he's not there because he wants to be? It was hard and it took me a couple of weeks but once I let go of that I felt about a thousand pounds lighter. So much less stress. And it's he who is losing out, not the kids. Not the kids. So you've got to let go of that so that you can focus on what you guys do have, giving your son a fabulous example to follow. Because once we learn to really love and live in the lives that we *do* have, we will no longer feel without. And always remember that your love is big enough, strong enough, and deep enough to carry your child through anything because you are a mother!

First I want to say I'm sorry for all your going through with your son's father. Your dad is right you should not make nothing convenient for them. I'm tell you I was in your shoes about two and a half years ago with my daughter father but I had to pick my self up and be strong for me and my child and not depend on him. When we first broke up he was coming to pick our daughter up every week but the minute they started taking child support all that stopped. Then he quit his job moved to another state and now own over 8000 in back child support. Birthdays and holidays past and no calls from him or his family. So please know you are not alone but like I said you have to think about you and your child if the father does want to be apart of his life thats his lost. As far as your court date just pray about it and leave it in God's hands and believe that how every it turns out is all apart of Gods plan for you and your son. Also know he (God) will never leave you to handle your struggles alone. Trust me I know its hard but you just have to be strong and keep the faith!! Godd Bless
