[quote=Anonymous]I've seen this twice.

1.  Dad was working his way through some issues and just disconnected from that life.  Took a long time for him to fix himself and get involved in his kids life again.  They have an okay relationship.  They see each other, get along and all that, but there really isn't the father/son relationship.  There is still a lot of distance between them

2.  Mom made things really difficult for dad to see kids.  Then she made it difficult for phone calls etc.  Lot of money to lawyers and he pretty much gave up for awhile.   He barely saw his kids for a couple of years and communication was hard.  He was pretty dejected.  He didn't want his kids to know it was moms fault so he took a lot of their anger.  Then he met someone knew who really helped him fight hard for them.  Custody agreement was redone and more enforced.   Kids are all teenagers now (this happened in toddler/early elementary years) and the kids have learned that mom is toxic and has issues.  They are very close to their dad.  [/quote]
