From experience, I can say that they will be happier when they decide to stop caring.

Thanks for the validation. It is so much better to vent here than it is to raise bail money. I am perfectly happy to start a Go Fund Me for YOUR bail money! Trust me on that one! |

I have had similar moments with my ex and my kids too. My heart hurts for them. I chose the wrong man to be their father. I can only do my best to make sure that I fulfill the parent role as best I can. Hugs to you. I feel exactly this way, too. I love my kids and just wish I'd chosen a better man to be their father. I've spent years being the best parent I can be. |

He's an asshole, sorry you have to deal with this.

I can only do my best to make sure that I fulfill the parent role as best I can. Hugs to you. I feel exactly this way, too. I love my kids and just wish I'd chosen a better man to be their father. I've spent years being the best parent I can be. I also made the wrong choice in the man I married and had a child with. I had my son in counseling by about 7 years old. During a "damage control" session with my son's therapist, he told me that kids can get all the necessary guidance, support, and love through one good parent. Sure, two is ideal, but he assured me that my son could grow up healthy and balanced as long as I continued to do the best job I could with him. He gave me some invaluable tools to help my son over the years. So those of us who have exes like the OP, shouldn't carry any personal guilt and rest assured your kids got what they needed through your loving care. |
