[quote=Anonymous]My ex checked out of our lives a few years ago. He was focused on his girlfriends, discovering new bands and restaurants, and reliving his youth rather than spending any time with the children. Basically it was a textbook midlife crisis. So, 100% of parenting has fallen to me, which has been very difficult, but I have managed, and the kids and I are now in a good place with a nice, calm, happy life. We've grown roots in a new neighborhood and have built a new community. And now my ex wants back "in". Presumably he had a romantic relationship end, and now he wants to start spending more time with the kids. I'm feeling resentful -- like we were disposable, and now he wants us to be available based on his whims. The whole thing feels very unfair to me and the kids. [/quote]
