I don't know what the issue was. He is not an atheist, but maybe more agnostic. He did apologize to her, but I am still seething. I had to watch him push this gift away from her as she was trying to give it to him, and it broke my heart.

Jen, in answer to your question, XH believes that children should respect their parents, period. My philosphy is that children emulate what they are taught, and if you don't respect the child, the child will not learn. Now, that is not to say I believe in a$$ kissing when it comes to kids, but small things.

Of course, XH demands respect with everyone, and does not want to give it back. This is ultimately why we are divorced.
