about I can keep our son, he has his girls. Its been a week today since he told me that garbage. Its been a month (Father's Day) since he's seen our son. It does hurt that he isnt consistent in his life but it hurts more because I wonder if the baby misses him or wonders why "daddy" doesnt come around to see him. I wonder if my son still remembers him. Sometimes I feel like my son is suffering b/c "daddy" isnt there. Yesterday my niece and my mom was looking at some old pictures of us and they showed the baby a pic of his dad and they said he hit the pic a couple of times and got a sad look on his face. Oh God did that hurt. So it made me really wonder how much does the baby know.
I dont want my ex thinking he can pop in and out of his life like a yo-yo. Im worried that he will try to come around again and I dont know what to do about it. Any advice.

Babies love pictures of babies. They love seeing babies on tv.
If you send the father pictures of the baby from time to time, that might just encourage him "popping in and out" of your son's life. You don't have to decide this now. You can wait, and see how things are when you and your Stbx have settled in to your new lives. Sometimes one parent will disappear at first, then come back after they get their head straight. Of course, you will feel resentful about the lost time. But a child would just be thrilled that they have come back at all. Good luck.
I responded to your other post on this subject....
Hugs to you and no I don't think he will keep his word, the longest my ex disappeared was 3 months. Now he is an every other weekend dad....
