I will share with you the lesson I learned many years ago: the relationship your child does or does not have with each of you is between each of you and your child. Your job as far as issues with your kids and W is to listen and offer advice but don't get in the middle of it. The same would be the same for her. My ex would constantly say I was putting words in their mouths or that I must be putting these thoughts in their heads.

No more. I am there for them, I will give them ideas of how to handle a situation but I don't get involved. They have to figure it out.

Only one of 4 of my kids has sought his dad out. The other three, not so much. Oh and the one that goes to him as openly acknowledged me as being a great Mom and Dad. He is just trying to get his Dad to be his Dad.
