long past D thoughts

[forward]

Peace: It is interesting that as people get older, they start to look at the people in their lives and that question of "who will care about me" comes up. Who can you count on, etc.. And suddenly OP doesn't look so great.

I thought of this because of my X and that whole "fair weather friend" thing. If your X wants R with kids, I don't think it's unreasonable to caution them that they don't owe him the R. That he has a lot of work to do to repair R, if he can even do it.

And as far as I am concerned, words really don't do it. He may have apologized...but what is he willing/going to do?

In my opinion, your poor kids have the right to ask that.
