Carnac, As Im reading what you are going through, I can tell you I am dealing with the same thing. Even though X and I are divorced, he is NOT the person I married. Last Monday, we had a HUGE argument again because he is yet again putting GF in front of C by not calling him all weekend. X then called him Monday morning and C started crying. X doesnt see what he is doing to him son. Not only does C not have his Dad in his life 24/7, but now his Dad is not making an effort to reach out just even 5 minutes a day just to tell him how much he loves him when he doesnt have him. This is not the person I married. And it just frustrates me because C is still having a hard time understanding and dealing with this all.
That being said, I think its possible that I put X up on a pedistal and didnt see alot of his faults. OR if I did see them, I pushed them away. Could this have been the same person I was married too? And why would I want him back in my life again knowing this isnt making me happy now. I dont know. But I feel your pain Carnac.
