This book is to help those who have fled emotionally abusive relationships and now there is no contact between the father and child. Written based on my own personal experience of trying to find a way to explain why my son's dad suddenly wasn't there anymore, and why we left. I searched and searched for books that would help me but couldn't find anything that was relevant. So, after speaking to various mental health professionals I devised my own way of telling my son why he was no longer in contact with his father. I wanted to make sure he didn't blame himself and that no matter what, he is loved and safe now. I am now on a mission to help other women in my situation and give them the tools to help their own children. I have also included a bonus poem at the end.
