If he were still in the marriage, they would get to spend time with him. We had family dinner almost every single night. He wasn't an ideal dad but he was present, and in our evening chats I had the opportunity to catch him up on little things so his interactions with them were more knowledgeable. I made a lot of effort to keep the kids connected to him as well as their long distance extended family. That was true right up till the day he left. A lot of that has fallen by the wayside now.
I don't know how to talk to him about these things. Our parenting interactions were so entwined with our marital conversations. Now that we're apart I don't know how to share this stuff with him. I'll see what I can do tonight when he brings them home. He doesn't even keep food in the house for them.
