[quote=Anonymous]I know one "dad" who fought for 50/50 custody, moved 30 minutes away and forbade his kid to participate in any sports or other activity on "HIS" time, which resulted in the kid losing his spot on a competitive sports team that he'd done since he was young and loved/obsessed over it.  His ex was willing to pay for 100% of the costs and do 100% of the driving, even bringing the kid back and forth from dad's house to the sport.  The kid also couldn't do things like play in the school band because of his dad's position.   I've heard of some other dads taking this position after a divorce, but never a mom (although I'm sure someone can think of an exception).  As a mom of a kid similarly obsessed with a sport, I can't fathom doing this to my child.  It would be soul-crushing, and he'd hate me forever for it.

That said, many dads love their kids fiercely. DH's connection with DD is entirely independent of his relationship with me. When he's upset or angry, he'll play a recording on his phone of her doing something cute when she was young. He hasn't missed a single parent/teacher conference, game, play, or ballet recital.
