And it is a blessing for those of us who won't be struggling financially as a result of the D. I actually had that realization last night...after mowing I was looking out over my back yard and realized that if my H was not going over and above the $$ that the law required I would prob not be able to keep my house...so there are some positives...
Too bad your kids feel that way about their dad, but I don't blame them. He dug his own hole and he will have to choose to climb out of it if he ever wants a positive relationship with them again.
