Thank you all for your kind words. Our GD is happier today as she has been cooking with her mum something she loves to do. She is now 10 and has an 8 year old brother who very very rarely mentions his father. I think GD remembers her father telling her mum to take the children and come and live with us in France so she feels rejected. Her father actually said that it would be her brother he would miss! He won't write, telephone nothing. Our daughter has tried to contact him with no response (text, phone, letters.) His parents send cards and presents every birthday and christmas so it isn't as though daughter refuses contact. Since she divorced her ex we have moved house and she sent the address to him, his parents and brother and it is only him or doesn't contact.
In her heart GD knows how things are but at 10 you always hope for miricles. Eventually he will be judged by his children.
My husband and other dads I know would walk from UK to France to see their children but not him. GD is looking forward to daughter getting married and being able to call her new step dad papa for real.
