I can completely relate to your post about interfering with your kids' relationship with their dad. My h had this huge production about how he had to leave to become a better dad. As I've stated before, h has clinical depression, anxiety, and anger issues. If his current behavior is being a better dad ( coming over, tweeting and snap chatting while not speaking to kids, then his former parenting was Oscar worthy.
I don't mean to high jack, but I realized I have to zip it. I literally have to persuade, cajole, convince, and woo my 2 older kids that it will be okay for their dad to "babysit" (his words) them for 2 hours. My D9 actually said I ended to pay them while my oldest son has harsh words for h. You know what I tell them? " I'm sorry guys. I know your dad loves you but this is the way he is right now." They ask will he change back to the way he used to be ? And I say I simply don't know. And leave it at that. I did have to say once to h that he really needed to chat with S10. I got the eye roll along with the mumble of you are so f$&king annoying. And I've decided to say not one word. H won't hear it and won't do anything about it.
Gosh, I did high jack. I'm so sorry. My point is that I think you are right to stay out of it. My h has never been referred to as the " fun " parent so I can't relate to that. But I realized, this is his big issue and I no longer will try to fix it. It's all on him. You are doing the right thing. Live by the sword. Die by the sword
