Why don't you want your child to know his/her father? Remember this is not about what you want.
Dogmatique, I did want him to know and have a relationship with his father. I attempted time and time again the first year my son was born. After constant "NO! I want nothing to do with him!" responses, I gave up. At this point we are 5 years down the road and he has still not attempted to communicate with his child. I don't feel that interjecting a person my son has not known and a person who hasn't wanted him from the start would benefit him at all... especially at the age of 5. My child is loved by me, my parents, my siblings....my entire family loves him to the ends of the earth. I know at the end of the day I could force his father to be a part of his life, but that doesn't seem like the right choice.
