Did I hear someone invite me to a Carrabean cruise? LOL. Seriously, I think a trip with you and the kids is a great idea. YOu should also try to go out with friends and have some adult time.

About 2 years ago, me and a few friends (all male) decided to set up a monthly poker night. We alternate at each others house and once a year we do a guys weekend camp trip (although my girlfriend calls it a sausage fest). I find these times with the guys, away from the kids to be a blessing.

So, continue to ignore your ex. The kids will come to expect less and less from her. Not your problem. Yes it [censored] for them, but you cannot fix it for them. Be the best dad you can be and leave the rest to God.

Peace,
Eric
