[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Of course no one is perfect.

It’s just hard to accept people don’t care about things they should care about. Their kids health and well-being being one.

I know there are lots of people in the world that aren’t good people or well intentioned. It’s just hard to accept when those people are in your family and know better.

We do have lots of family who support the kids but at the end of the day the kids want the love and approval and acceptance and care of their parents more than extended family. What we have done hasn’t been enough as the kids are a mess.[/quote]

Hard because that realization hit you in middle age?

My grandmother was a white supremacist (the European equivalent, at any rate). She wrote essays on the subject, and held forth at tea time, in her gentle, well-bred voice. I heard a lot of things growing up. I knew my family wasn't all good people, and since I knew this as a child, I had no sadness associated with separating and living my own life.

The kids will hopefully find a way, OP. They aren't done growing. What you're seeing now is perhaps not who they'll be later. My husband is an ex-child war refugee. You want to know what he went through? Successful adult now... with issues, but at least he's alive and in one piece.
