It is always so great to hear from you. I just have to scratch my head about your H. I do not get him. Not at all.
He ignored the kids when he lived in the smelly dorm room, but now he wants to be super dad? Why isn't he out on the town hitting on all the skanks he's been deprived of? How does he have so much time to hound you and these kids like they are toddlers who need constant care.
Thank goodness for a judge that takes the time to see what is really going on.
How are you dealing with this? My child about the same age as your older one wants dad so badly. Dad does well, they have a great time, then child does not see dad again for 2-3 months because dad just wants to make sure he can come back to child at some point. He doesn't want to actually have to deal with him the here and now.
I guess I'm saying that these people suck any way you slice it. Too much, or too little. Never the right amount. Too much wallowing or too much partying. Too much parenting or not enough. Too much thrust on the divorce or not enough. Why does it all have to be so hard?
