[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I do have several concerns. He has battled alcoholism, depression, mental health issues, and suicidal thoughts for years. He's also a smoker and my child is severely asthmatic.[/quote]has he won those battles?  He should not smoke around her, but it is almost always better for the kids to have a relationship with both parents.[/quote]

NP.  Not necessarily.  My dad was an alcoholic and missed so many weekend visits.  I didn't know this was the reason when I was a kid though,  I thought there was something wrong with me or my brother.  I would have been better off without him.  He was pissed at my mom for getting remarried so he started insisting on visits that he regularly never showed up for.[/quote]My "almost always" is the same as your "not necessarily".  At any rate, If I were your mom, once I knew he was unreliable, I would not even have mentioned any visits until he showed up.[/quote]

She didn't but we were old enough to know when Friday night was.  When he didn't show up, she didn't need to say anything.  It was hard to get over the fact that my dad would rather spend his time in a bar than with his kids.[/quote]
