How old are your kids? I had a father that was an MLC'er as well. He basically threw us down in pursuit of his true love many years ago...... Needless to say, it didn't quite work out for him the way he wanted it to..... Fast forward to today and he has tried to build some sort of relationship with me, but I am not interested in such. He calls me now and again, I do not call him. When he calls, he does all the talking, I listen for awhile, then make an excuse to get off the phone. I'm not saying your kids do that, but for me, its all I can give to him.
