I know there are some strong reasons behind supporting time together... However...
In my honest opinion, I think my girls have somewhat benefited from Matt being AWOL. When addiction is involved, spending time together can mean belittling and negativity and who knows what else. My girls are really brimming with self-confidence and I don't honestly believe that would be the case had he been in their face more.
It's not ideal. It's not what I imagined for my girls. HOWEVER... this is is HIS choice. His consequences.
And, truly, what will help them become better, functioning adults... Especially girls??? At this point, I'd say money to help them get the support, counseling and education they need to thrive. He has made himself somewhat expendable at this point.
Just my two cents.
