(31) Don't shoot the messenger

Not sure as to what conversations take place between Matt and his dad regards W. Matt once said it wasn't discussed, I find that hard to believe, I know my ex husband too well anything negative and it will keep his conversation going for a few years! 
Matt once said that he felt that 'Rach' should tell dad what's going on, this got a little heated between the two of them. I took Matt to one side and relayed the evenings outcome when we had invited his dad round and broke the news.  Matt hadn't a clue what had been said as his dad had not discussed it. I asked Matt not to get involved between the two of them.
Will has told Matt that if dad wants to know anything to get in touch with him and he is more than willing to inform him.  After the Xmas card was given, Matt said that dad was not happy because he had not been consulted over the name change.
I am really confused... Why doesn't he contact W? Does he want to be involved in W's life? Why doesn't he ask if he is ok when he sees him? Why doesn't he contact me? Why, why, why?
You can't ignore your child for nearly a year and then expect to be involved. Is it me being unreasonable?

My eldest sis rang last night, was really good to hear from her. We chatted about the clinic and how we were coping.

Had a visit from my ex earlier this evening, he read my blog over Xmas and asked if it was ok to pop round to chat.  I hope he left understanding a bit more of how I have felt and dealt with it.
He said he was glad we weren't together as no doubt W would have told him and he would have hated the job of telling me! (Coward) :)

Birthday is getting closer, I have mixed feelings. What cards will he have? Will people call him W when we gather for his meal in the pub?
Its such a special day and his 21st should be memorable, I hope for the right reasons.
