Can anyone relate to this, my WH never calls or comes to see the kids. he never checks in to make sure they are okay or if they need anything, nothing. I am raising our 3 kids all alone without him, while he is running around having himself a great time.<p>I love and adore my kids, I can't imagaine not seeing or speaking to them everyday, is it guilt? or is just he really and truly has no feeling at all anymore??<p>He was once a really great H and father this is why I am having such a hard time accepting all this. can anyone relate?<p>
Love Sally

Sad Sally,<p>Yes I can relate, it is so hard. The Kids need him so much and he isn't here. He does call about once a week.<p>I've tried relating how hard this is for his kids and that they need him.<p>Don't think he gets it though!!<p>It's the fog, that has made them so uncarrying to anyone other then her. I h ate it!!<p>Dawn

I don't think I can relate to that, but I would say he is just caught up in himself and nobody else. I think that is what the As are all about is the WS only cares about themselves and nobody else, unfortunately nobody else includes the kids.

I think WS have no time for guilt. Kids equal guilt. It's right there in their faces.<p>They can look at us the BS & find 100 reasons to justify what they did to us; but the kids...<p>They are innocent victims & some WS just can't handle what they have done to their families.<p>Conflict avoidance, guilt avoidance...no remorse.<p>I feel it's all part of their selfish shallow nature. "out of sight out of mind"<p>Too bad it's their kid's they are ignoring.<p>I think they truly love their kids, but their kind of love is "conditional"...that's why they cheat.<p>Make any sense.<p>Lisa
