He doesn't care.

Today was DD's birthday and I didn't even get a half-hearted "Tell her happy birthday for me" Facebook message.

I don't know why I expected one to begin with. I have no reason to. I haven't heard from him since February.

I guess I thought "If you really want anything to do with her, now's the time to show us."

Nothing.

Why does it hurt so badly? She deserves better than him....

But at the same time, she deserves for him to at least care....

Smurf.

She knows who loves her and she will always know that she is loved by you and that's all that will matter. Tell her some crazy lady on the internet is wishing her a very happy birthday, though!

I know it's hard to want someone to care like you, and to not understand how someone could not. But....you get her all to yourself! You get to see her grow and you get to experience all the wonderful little things kids do.

I know the feeling...my son turns 4 this year and I don't even bother to invite BD anymore...he's never gotten so much as a card  

I know that your heart is breaking for your daughter...it gets better, trust me. My son is surrounded by so many people that love him and he's never even asked about his father, whom he's met a few times.

She's probably already in bed, but tell her I said happy birthday! You have enough love for her to cover the love of 6 parents!

Happy belated birthday LO!

Don't let it get to you momma.
She knows that you love her! And I bet her birthday was great(:
And it's his loss. She'll be just fine without him.

tell her happy birthday from me too! there are tons of women on here that love you and your little girl. i know that doesnt make up for it but we care. one day you will find an amazing man and that man will teach her what its like to have a real daddy. some men do not make good fathers. its not your fault and its not your daughter.

Thank you so much everyone. You guys always cheer me up.

We had her party today, and more people than I thought showed up! I had so many friends and family..it was amazing. I couldn't have possibly asked for a better day or better people to share my happiness with.
