A mother should never have to beg a man to be a father to his own child. She shouldn’t need to plead for him to call, chase him to show up, or remind him of the moments that should matter. If a man can walk away from his own flesh and blood—if he can close his eyes at night knowing his child is growing up without his love, guidance, or presence—that is his failure, not hers.
She didn’t create that child alone, yet here she is, doing what mothers have always done: stepping up, showing up, and holding everything together with love and strength. It hurts—oh, how it hurts—when her child asks questions she shouldn’t have to answer. When their little eyes search hers for explanations she struggles to give.
It’s a pain that no mother should endure, pretending her child doesn’t feel the absence of someone who should have been there. But forcing a man to care won’t make him a father. Pleading for his involvement won’t ignite the love or effort he should willingly give. Instead, it drains her, leaving her with wounds she struggles to heal and leaving her child with more questions than answers.
A Father Is Defined by His Actions
A true father isn’t defined by DNA but by his actions—by showing up when it’s hard, by choosing his child every single day, and by loving without conditions. A real father understands that love is effort, not obligation.
But what happens when a father uses the mother as his excuse? Her husband claimed she was unsafe, unstable, and unfit to be around him, using these accusations to justify his absence. Yet his words betrayed his logic—if she were truly unsafe, why would he leave their child in her care?
It wasn’t about safety or stability; it was about deflection. He used her as a scapegoat to avoid accountability, painting her as the problem so he wouldn’t have to face his own failings. He wasn’t protecting their child; he was protecting his fragile narrative, where he was the victim and she was the villain.
The Pain of Being the Scapegoat
For her, the burden was immense. To be labeled unstable by the very person who inflicted so much emotional harm was a wound that cut deep. It was already hard enough to raise a child without the support she had once hoped for, but to be cast as the reason for his absence—that was an added heartbreak.
Yet his accusations revealed more about him than they did about her. They exposed his unwillingness to take responsibility, to confront the truth, and to make the sacrifices that fatherhood demands.
Karma Doesn’t Forget
Life has a way of uncovering the truth. One day, their child will see it too. They’ll grow up knowing who stayed and who walked away, who loved them through action, and who only offered empty excuses.
And when that day comes, she won’t need to say a word. His absence, his manipulative words, and his refusal to show up will have already told the story.
Karma moves slowly, but it never forgets. There’s no regret deeper than a child realizing they weren’t worth the effort to the one person who should’ve given them everything.
Her Love Is Enough
She doesn’t force what isn’t there. She doesn’t chase what doesn’t want to be caught. Instead, she stands firm in the love she’s already giving.
Her child doesn’t need a man who had to be dragged into their life. They don’t need someone whose love is conditional or whose presence must be begged for. What they need is the mother who stayed—the mother who dried their tears, answered their questions, and filled their world with love even when it hurt to do so.
She is the constant. The one who shows up. The one who loves without limits. And her love will always be enough.
