The other thing I want to add is my husband is a terrific father. He has done everything he can to keep the visitation going, calls, emails etc. But, I feel the mom and step-dad have had much influence over him. Step-Dad has no bio children and they cannot have any (never heard why).
I could understand this if my husband just shut himself out of his son's life. If he did not pay child support. If he just did not care.
Right now all I can do is support and love my husband. He is hurting.
