To My Kid’s Deadbeat Dad, I’m Calling You Out

You, long lost father to my child, have missed so much.

Why? Your excuse always seems to be a direct attack on me.

I’m the reason you won’t have a relationship with your child. I’ll accept that for now. After all, I am the one who has given myself and every fiber of my being to his every need and want.

No matter how many times I begged and pleaded for you to be a father to the child that you helped bring into this crazy world, you never seemed to actually give a damn.

Do you want the honest truth?

He doesn’t deserve a father like you. He deserves far better than anyone you could ever be.

You don’t deserve to be in the presence of any child, let alone my child.

And you don’t deserve to watch that smile and hear the crackle of that innocent laugh.

You don’t deserve to kiss the boo-boo’s.

And you don’t deserve to watch the soccer games.

You don’t deserve to teach him how to migrate this journey called life.
