How can I explain that he will never have a true father?

Hi, my baby doesnt have a father and will never be able to find him as I was drugged and now have no recollection of that night. How can I explain that he will never have a true father and make this easy on my child as he`s growing up without him feeling unwanted or like a mistake? Im worried that he will end up hating me for not giving him a father as I have now gone off men altogether and dont want a partner ever again. I love my baby boy but cannot forfill his fatherly role that is very important in a childs life.

Answer: Hi,
You may need to get some advice and support through counselling. Talk to your GP for a referral to a counselling service. They will be able to help you talk about your concerns and offer some possible solutions and advice on approaching the situation with your son. You may also want to engage a member of your family to assist in some male time for your son.
Best wishes,
Alex
