[quote=Anonymous]My mom divorced my dad and moved us kids 2 hours away to a small town with no work opportunities. Know what he did? Moved there and created his own work opportunities. Completely changed careers and started a business, because being with his kids was THAT important to him. I did the same thing when I divorced my H. Stuck in a small town with no work opportunities, so I went back to school and switched careers. Your dad was perfectly capable of doing the same, and in fact it is what GOOD parents do. Every father I’ve known who claimed they couldn’t see their kids because of “work” made a personal choice to prioritize a particular job above their children, simply because the job is more fun than taking care of kids. This is not on your mom. For sure, you need to grieve and address the fact that your father simply did not care enough. But it’s 100% on him, not your mom. [/quote]
