It says to me - 'I loved you when it was convenient, when you attracted me, when all was plain sailing. now it isn't I no longer have those feelings - someone else/some way of life suits me better' Same with their children - they are fair weather parents.
I've wondered this as well. Did my H ever really love me? I can't help thinking, "not really." Also, he was never willing to sacrifice his traveling to be at home with a growing teen. Now D20 couldn't care less if her dad is around or not. She has so many low self esteem issues that I see is rooted in an absentee father. But, of course, he won't see that. It's too late now, water under the bridge has reached the sea already. Nothing to be done now.
