text: my baby's father left her. should i tell her? she is currently 2 years old.? when other children have their fathers come to school, what will she think? as a 2 year old i'm not sure that she can fully grasp the meaning "sweetheart, i have to tell you something, dad has gone away and im not sure if he'll be back"......now if she comes to you and asks you "mommy where is daddy?" then yes tell her but reassure her that it's not her fault and that things happen sometimes that we just have to live with and love her hold her in your arms every chance you get and make sure she knows that she is loved.....good luck hun and best wishes to you!
