Scenario

When your child asks about an absent parent

My 6-year-old keeps asking where daddy is and I keep making up different stories because I cannot bring myself to say he just left us and I do not know where he went.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The parent is caught between protecting their child's innocence and honoring the truth, while processing their own abandonment.
