It is hard on the kids but I see my kids now although I'm sure a deep scar exists for their abandoned father they do seem well adjusted to me even with his weak attempts to connect with our D this past year and his cowardly decline to talk to her via phone, she is ok-
she understands that people sometimes get sick and some can't recover -he is one of those
we hold a special hope of prayer for his well being-and one day recovery but I dont think my XH will ever recover..for himself too much damage too many years out there on drugs crazy OW now wife
at one point I thought he would get better but many MLCer will continue on that road for the rest of their lives some will turn..not sure the percentage
I wonder what they think when they look at their old lives..many were quite successful financially well off with nice families--nice homes ect
to their present lives..drugs, crazy partners, no blood family, kids won't speak to them, living in poverty or debt.. apartments or rentals
I think one caring parent is enough not perfect but adequate to facilitate their growth I am grateful that my kids seem ok and we got through the crises at this point ---it seems long gone
everyone has forgot about dad and has moved on doing their own lives and everyone is thriving except him
hang in more will be revealed
