[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My heart breaks for all of you. You deserved so much better — and still do. It’s unconscionable to complain to your own child about having them “dumped” on you, like it’s some kind of punishment.

It’s killing me to read these posts. My STBX was a really loving, involved, hands on dad once upon a time. Then he just kind of checked out. He moved out two years ago and I offered him extra beds to take from our guest room so the kids could sleep over at his place, but he didn’t take them. They’ve never spent a single night with him. I still thought he’d want to have custody of some sort, so when we started negotiating a divorce settlement, I told him I had no desire to limit his access to the kids, but he said he wanted to keep things as they are: I have physical custody 100% of the time and he eats dinner with the kids one night per week. I can’t even believe this is really happening. Our kids are awesome and there’s something wrong with him if he’s okay with no custody. I don’t know if I’ll ever remarry, but if I do, it will only be to someone who makes my kids feel welcome in our home and in our lives, and only if I can do the same for his kids.[/quote]

Once men lose interest in the woman (or vice versa) they lose interest in the child so much of the time. It’s bizarre but it happens especially with men who are products of divorce or who eventually divorce.[/quote]
