[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read everything either but I feel so compelled to chime in ---

Leave! leave! This will not get better. Same situation - except I'm your daughter 10-15 years from now! Father's wife has done everything to cut us out of his life - and no one can articulate why. My sister did have trouble with substance abuse years ago, so she uses that on occasion, but other than that, it's "you love them more than me". He's afraid to be alone and she's convinced him that it is God's "requirement" to keep her happy as his "marital duty". (He was not very religious before but now...). Albeit they are older, but same story. Dad was the superdad you describe yourself as well.

Like your situation - sounds like the problem is her jealousy of your ex-wife and the products of that love. It's not a healthy relationship and won't get better - and you'll not only miss out on your kids, but on your grandkids too. And they will bring SO much joy. Healthy relationships are out there. Wish my dad had listened when he would stew about the early signs of all this before their marriage. Now it just is what it is, and it's a sad part of life.
