[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My XH wanted ZERO custody of our three kids (now teenagers). I have sole physical and joint legal. He sees them every other week for dinner, and every other Saturday afternoon to hang out. My oldest, now 19, has now cut off all contact with him.

While 50/50 would've been heart wrenching for me, it would've been a million times better for my kids. I would've done it without question, but he was adamant. He pays the bare minimum in CS, forgets their birthdays, and his family has dropped out of their lives. It's been devastating for them. They are in therapy, and they are great kids, but what an awful thing. I was always the primary parent, and he was a lousy husband but a fun dad. Bottom line is he doesn't want the responsibility of a family or kids. So to all you divorced parents out there who are sharing custody and doing right by your kids, kudos to you. I know it's hard, but watching your kids' be abandoned by their dad is much, much worse.[/quote]

Oof. This does sound devastating.  I'm glad they have you.[/quote]
