p.s. one of the official definitions of the word "dude" is a pimple on a donkey's [censored].

Hey, dude! Good for you!.
Like Topie, I have a slight reservation about the kids' situation. Does she have custody? do you see them? How much are you able to influence their upbringing?
Do you mean she screwed them up by involving herself with OM? Sore point for most of us here.
Tell more.

Dude,
Your post reads remarkably like those posted by someone else (I think the name began with a "P") when I first started lurking here over a year ago. Then, when I began posting, his name changed to "DJ T-bird" and his comments usually brought a smile to my face. He then changed his name to "Sauron", then "SaURoNaNdGaLAdRIel". By any chance is this you with yet another alias? This gets really confusing to us who try to keep up with people, even peripherally, here at MB.
Topie had a good comment. I hope you're just having a bad day and didn't really mean that about the kids the way we are all reading it. What's going on??

I don't need to know more about the woes of being a BS. We've all got similar stories... and yes, some are more intense than others, mine included.
I feel as though you are expecting an apology from me my your comments, and I'm sorry, but I refuse to take back my concern about your children.
It is truly sad that they have succombed to your W's lies and deceit, and have taken it out on you. However, with you being their father, it is up to YOU to continue to make efforts to stay in contact with them, and to do your best to keep them from continually being "screwed up".
Most of this A stuff needs to be "let go". However, the one exception is the children involved. If you honestly feel as though you have done all you could do, then great. You should be at peace with that... and you should think to mention that in your opening posts so that the rest of us who don't know your story won't be so offended by your seemingly non-chalant attitude over the well being of your children, no matter how old they are.
Karen

Hi Topie25/Karen. No apology requested, needed, or wanted.

Harold, Thanks for the confirmation of your ID and also the clarification of your kids' ages. That makes all the difference in the world to my understanding. While I was reading your initial comment, I was thinking your kids were MUCH younger. You are right, when your kids are adults they DO have to live their own lives. I'm having to do that "Tough Love" thing to both my husband and my son right now at the same time, so I know what you mean! And for the record of this thread, I didn't do any namecalling. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Hi Avondale! I do apologize if I worded my last post to make you think you called me the PODA - you didn't, that was courtesy of Karen.

Glad friend you are still free after doin' the time. But from a friend who really cares, work it out with the children NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES OR HOW LONG TO ACCOMPLISH.
I think you would be an amazing dad should they re get to know you. You are funny, have an honorable life as a defender of our country and a stand up guy. All American dad type.
And the truth always comes out. Like marriage dates of your x wife and hubby and the date of separation and divorce? Really one day the fog will clear and lies will be revealed to the kids too. Don't run. Stand up and do so. You are so kind to pray for them including xw and her h (former OM). You're the big guy here. Now stand up and show those kids awesome love.
