Dear Amy: My partner “Michael’s” father, “Ned” walked out on their family when Michael was a teenager.
My partner “Michael’s” father, “Ned” walked out on their family when Michael was a teenager.In the years following the divorce, Ned made little and then no effort to keep in touch with his children.
The dreaded question has already come up , and I explained that Grandpa went far away a long time ago and we don’t really know where he is, as Michael looked on, stone-faced and silent.I plan to address them openly and honestly as they arise, but am at a loss as to how to frame it in a way that is age-appropriate and will not be hurtful to him.
We have slept in separate bedrooms for most of our marriage. There is never any hand holding, cuddling or intimacy.
