Original Reddit post

My 8 year old boy has lived with me since a was a baby but has had his father around close by since he was born. A year ago his father met someone and two months ago he cut all contact with my son (to make sense of it I think she might want to start a ”new family” with him as she is 28). I mean truly no contact whatsoever, not even a text. Could anyone enlighten me how this might affect my son as he grows? What support might he need from me that I as a mother might miss? and if there is anything I can do or say to make this easier for him? He doesn’t talk about it at all and says that he’s happy he’s dad is gone because he doesn’t want anyone in his life that doesn’t want him. submitted by /u/Natural_Fan_7705
