I have seen my kids have to face the fact that their father is not who they thought he was. It is tough. They get clingy and depressed. For example, my son is in college. His father agreed to pay a percentage of his tuition at the beginning of the year but just last week decided to back out of this. My son was devastated. My ex has just come back from a cruise. This is his 3rd trip this year. I don't talk bad about ex at all, but offer my support and a listening ear as well as my checkbook on many occassions. It is hard on everyone.
