my grandson has never known his Dad -he`s 13 .Now the "father" wants to see him. I think it is because the CSA has caught up with him . He`s quite happy with his life without him but my daughter worries that he - her son -will blame her if she doesn`t let the "father" see his son. |

I don't know the situation but perhaps at 13 he should be allowed to make his own decision regarding his father. Good luck whatever the decision. |

Ros, maybe the two of them could email each other for a bit first, and see how much commitment the father has then. C. could tell his dad a bit about himself, what he likes to do and what subjects he likes at school etc without giving away too much if he doesn't want to and see what the father comes back with. |

Difficult situation. I was kept from having contact with my father from age of ten until I was working. Afraid the result was that although Dad never criticised my mother, I ended up not speaking to her again. |
