[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you're saying there's kids who have a difficult parent, they have been through a difficult divorce and now have a difficult custody situation/alienation, and are potentially at risk for hereditary mental health issues, and their more-functional parent refuses to acknowledge and treat their mental health despite obvious red flags.

And all that said, the problem in your eyes is they don't want to be friends with your kids and aren't fun enough for your liking on twice-annual outings? Listen to yourself! Come on![/quote]

Before jumping in with all these declaratory statements, let me calm you down a bit.  Boyfriend is doing the best he can. Has he put them in therapy? No.  But he does an amazing job with them and always has their interests at heart.   Am I sad that 10 years in and his kids don't acknowledge mine? Absolutely. I don't think that should be shocking for me to feel.  I am human.  Am I sad that his ex-wife won't let them be when it comes to me? For sure.  Am I sad his wife wants no custody despite his urging? You betcha.  It's a very difficult situation but that doesn't make me a bad guy for being sad about it all and posting on here so please calm down.[/quote]

How is refusing to get them mental health care an "amazing job"?

Really, ask yourself do you want it to be this way long-term? Because I don't see why anything would change. [/quote]
OK. You win.
