[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 114488, member: 84"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> He's only hurting his relationship with his son. </div></div> So very true. My bio dad isn't a bad person. He just makes for a lousy husband, and stinks in the father dept. I settled any stray feelings I had toward my bio dad way back in Jr High. (absentee dad/no child support/didn't even hear from him) At 22 he came thru for me at a time when I needed him the most in my life. I'll always respect him for that. Lord knows we were strangers to each other, so he had no obligation toward me or my kids. But there is no love there. There is also no anger, no resentment. No "relationship". Nothing. I think I spoke to him last maybe 8 yrs ago. No real relationship ever developed between us. And since my Mom's 2nd husband stepped in and filled his shoes and then some..... Well, let's just say I never missed him, still don't. It's harder for your kids than it was for me because their Dad was there to some degree. (I see the difference with my sibs too) But they'll work out for themselves how the relationship will be. And I'm afraid ex is only shooting himself in the foot. But YOU are doing a fantastic job, and it shows. You handled the situation beautifully! [img]:smile:[/img] Hugs [/QUOTE]
