Besides who says that he'll have ANY interest in our grandkids? He barely even shows interest in our kids. I mean geesh I called him about them what two night ago . . . and he NEVER called back. HE DOESN'T CARE!




You know, my H does this, too. We have three children together and he sees them about once a week for a few minutes. He used to see them more frequently, but lately it's been very rare.

I used to think it was because he didn't care. But I am starting to see that he has his own demons to battle and that maybe his guilt about leaving makes it hard to be around the kids right now. Do you think it's possible that it actually tears Kevin up that he can't bring himself to be a part of your lives right now?

I know he's not a winner in your book right now and he's certainly worthy of the negative attitude at this point. However, give him the benefit of the doubt and remember that you're talking about a young man with a lot of issues to iron out. I don't think it's as simple as saying he just doesn't care about you or the kids. I think it's much deeper than that.
