What should I do if he wants to be part of our lives again?

Question - (8 October 2007) 4 Answers - (Newest, 8 October 2007)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I called my daughter's dad, left a message to call back. He called. Judging from the tone of his voice, he wasn't having a good day. Everything that he is going thru has been broughten upon him by his doings onto my daughter and I and others.

To make a long story short, he had an interview sometime this past weekend in Philadelphia at the Airport as Airport Supervisor making $3 more than I do. They offered to pay his ticket roundtrip to interview him. The only problem is he didn't have a babysitter for his other daughter from his first marriage in which he has full custody of by default (the mother never showed up to court). I refuse to volunteer my services. I have done so much for this man and I will not do it again. Anyhow, he was really upset tonight so he decided to bring up the past about giving up his rights. Once again, he blames me for it. I asked him how come I haven't heard from him. Then he brings up the Philadelphia situation, giving up his rights, me leaving....Blaming me, once again.

I know he'll call and want to be apart of our lives again but what should I do when he does?

Thanks for your responses. I have done so much for this man and his kids and I feel he doesn't appreciate what I have done. If he did, he wouldn't do the things he done.

He was so upset last night where it led him to say to me,"stop calling him, leave him alone. If I continue calling him, that would be considered harrassment." He is the one trying to come back into our lives. He is the one that wants to get married. He is the one that wants to start all over. He came to me to try. I gave him another chance and I get this? He had hurt my daughters feelings and as well as mines. The only problem is, I still love this man. It hurt so much.

this is a tough one as a mother you have a duty to your daughter to try and maintain the contact with her father. and the fact that he has full custody of his eldest shows that he must be a decent father. do not let him guilt trip you, you are no longer in a relationship and don't owe him anything, ask yourself would he have done it for you? If you were to get back together with him would you be happy, are you happier without him.
