My ex still sees the kids at his regular times. However, he now does nothing with them and barely has anything to say to them. My son says he is like a zombie when they are with him. Does this mean he no longer cares for them either? On a side note, he came to my son's ballgame the other day and sat very close to me. Big surprise! I looked up and he was staring at me. I met his eyes for several seconds, it was really a long look, then he dropped his head. All his anger towards me is gone now, too. I'm not saying he wants to come back, but I'm just wondering how others would see his actions, especially his strangeness with the boys.<P>Thanks<BR>AD

Sounds like the depressed, oh sh1t what have I done syndrome. Probably feeling guilty when he's with the boys and prevents him from interacting with them. Who knows what they are thinking sometimes?<P>Keep your chin up and everything will work out like it is supposed to. ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/smile.gif) <P>------------------<BR>Allen<BR>sparky_dog_mb@yahoo.com

Sparkydog,<P>Thanks for your answer. I think he is somewhat depressed, he has gained about 30 lbs. He has always been a quiet person, but his actions towards the kids are really strange. I don't see him often, but he doesn't look all that happy, more like expressionless. He was always a very sensitive person, he cries more easily than I do. I don't see how someone like that can show no emotion as he does now.<P>Thanks<BR>AD

sounds like he is depressed. DK what influence you might have with him, but he should see his doc about this.<P>

I've been clinically depressed before and nothing matters, kids, spouses, work, school.<P>If you see him, you may want to ask him to see a dr. because of the effects on the kids. They need a dad in their lives now, not some emotionless human visiting because he has to.<P>------------------<BR>Allen<BR>sparky_dog_mb@yahoo.com
