Hey Brit,
I hear you. It's like the convenience is now there for them to do whatever they want, but they still get to enjoy the good parts of being parent...part time. That's what sometimes makes me believe H just wanted a break (maybe a permanent one) from real responsibility. Must be nice to pop in and out whenever they want.
My poor D is mentioning Daddy more and more and how she wants him. I think she does the opposite when she's with him. It's so unfair to the kids to do this.

W has made it pretty clear through her actions that she's okay with abandoning her family to pursue whatever it is in life she is looking for.

This is epitomy of selfishness as far as I'm concerned. It boggles how my H has so easily given up a close R with his kids just for OW. How can she be worth giving that up? How can you not want a close R with your kids? They have to be pretty messed up inside to walk away like this.
I keep praying that he comes around and realizes that it is worth trying for our M for the sake of the kids. I'm saying I believe in staying together just for kids...what I mean is how can you give up your R with the kids without even trying? I just don't get it.
I've said it before Brit...your a great Dad Brit and your D is lucky to have you.
