Thanks for dropping by. When my oldest was 15 he came up to me and said, "Most of my friends don't have Dad's. I don't need one either!" It broke my heart to hear that. This was said while I was still trying to be a "go-between" so I tried to get H to see what he was doing to the kids and their way of thinking. He didn't get it then, doesn't get it now, who knows about the future.
The only one of the 4 that misses Daddy is D9. She was always asking me when he was coming home. I had to keep explaining it to her. The other 3 are totally aware of what has happened. It is sad that they lost their innocence three years ago because of this.
It hasn't helped at all that ex's Dad cheated on his Mom and tried to move the OW into their home when he was a kid. Both of his parents are total enablers because even though they can't believe he would do this(though they have the proof before their eyes) they won't say a word to him about the mess in fear that he won't come see them.
