He tells them that mommy and daddy disagree on things like when to go to bed at night and how to keep the house clean...that they fought when they lived together but they don't anymore and things are better this way so it is going to stay this way forever.
Seriously??? Seriously??? He tells your kids you're getting a divorce because YOU can't keep the house clean and YOU don't know when to put them to bed???? This is the most pathetic thing I have ever heard. Is he REALLY that delusional??? Is this how he justifies f*cking around on you all these years..."well if BBJ would just clean the house and get the kids into bed on time, I wouldn't need to screw other women - it's all her fault you know." I don't know how you can even stand to look this guy in the eye.
I am with some others about setting the record straight about this with your kids. Maybe not necessarily right now, but also not to far in the distant future. You can't have Nathan thinking that "if Mom would just have cleaned the house, Dad would be living with us still."
As for Dan - IMO only, I don't think he's suicidal at all. He's too busy trying to manipulate you with the "feel sorry for poor me attitude - look I'm all teary-eyed" while deflecting the blame he owns for his failures on you or anyone else. He's not interested in hurting himself at all.
Unless it's a vital kid issue that you have to raise with him, cut him completely off BBJ. Ignore his text's, phone calls or any other communication he tries to make. You don't need to deal with his crap - let his mommy take care of him.
Sorry to be so harsh but this sh*t he has pulled really p*sses me off!!!
