I have read so many of your post and your situation is very similar to mine. One thing that really bothers me is that my children are being forced into contact with OW. My ex-H only sees them on alternate weekends and I can't understand why he can devote that time exclusively to them. After all, he sees her a lot more than he sees them! Another thing that kills me, he thinks he is such a great father! If he was he never would have left them. He says he didn't leave them, he left me. Don't you feel if your H really was thinking of his kids he would have put more effort into making the marriage work?<P>AD

Absolutely. My H used to be a very good father. He once wasn't hired for a job because he was honest about the fact that his family came first. I am sure he has been suffering from severe depression for a couple of years, and had become increasingly withdrawn from the kids, but as since he filed for divorce, he has become more and more distant from them. He introduced them to the OW only six weeks after he left, and now it seems like the OW pays more attention to the little ones than he does on the weekends he has them.
