[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't cover up for him. Tell them you know it's sad and disappointing he did not follow through but don't make excuses. Making his excuses is buying into the mess. Keep clear. Acknowledge the kids' feelings but don't make his apologies.[/quote] Np. Good advice. I’m 10 years divorced and I covered for my ex with my kids for years. High road and all. Then he decides to be more involved up a number of years later and bashed me to the kids [/quote] There's a wide middle ground between making excuses for someone and bashing them yourself. Now how to walk that perfectly when your kids come to you crying because their other parent is bashing YOU to the kids? That...I don't know. My kids are so tired of hearing "I'm sorry. That's an issue between us and you shouldn't have to hear about it." But at least I'm not covering for the jerk.[/quote]
