I am an unmarried mother with a twelve year old son whose father was from an African country.
His father was taken away by the Police before he was born for a reason I don’t know. All I know is that he would never have his photograph taken and he always seemed to have plenty of money. He was often on his phone but would never say who he was talking to.
The Police never told me what my son’s father had done and I can only think it was something serious because it seems highly classified.
My son asked me when he was younger why is he a different colour to his classmates at school. More lately he has asked me about his father.
I aways say I will tell him when he is older and quickly change the subject.
My question is, what age should I tell him about his father, and what should I say to him?
Currently he is a lovely intelligent boy who is ahead of his classmate at school. The last thing I want is to hurt his feelings and hate me for what has happened.
