[quote=Anonymous]Why would he try to contact his kids now? IME, because he wants something from them -- whether it's an actual thing or just that he wants to be able to say that he has repaired his relationship with them so that he looks like a good dad. In any case, the ex-wife (or you) should waste any time puzzling about why he is in contact. If her children are adults, then she should say to them that their relationship with their dad is their choice, and she will support them in having whatever kind of relationship they want with him, but that it might be a good time for them to do some individual therapy to process the divorce, the abandonment and their own feelings about it and for support in decision-making about how to respond. She should also explain what her own boundaries are with him and whether and to what degree she is or is not open to joint appearances with him. [/quote]
