My first husband (divorced in 1997) told me he is having issues with my son being disrespectful to him during visitation. In my EX's words, "Attitude reflects leadership!" He elaborated by saying that problems son is having at school or at his house are because I am not doing a good enough job by my kids.
I did not comment - but wanted to say "Attitude can also reflect LACK of leadership" My son says at dad's house - dad doesn't show interest in him and has made remarks about why dad doesn't bother to call or visit in between his every other weekend visitations.
Son flat out said: "I HATE HIM BECAUSE HE LEFT!" My son has kept that in for almost 11 years. As far as I can see - it is his dad's job to mend that bridge - not mine!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
My kids are adults, I was Still trying to repair the damage between their father and them up until I left the state.
I don't Know that my daughter and oldest boy will be able to live with their choices when their father passes on. Their Father deserves their hate-I don't deny that...but my kids don't deserve the burden they will carry.
No, I don't like the thought of them being close to that rat bastard...but, it is better than what I see coming in the next decade or so.
I have also pleaded with stbx to Stop what he has been saying about me...not for Me, but for Them. I couldn't care less, it is my daughter crying and son wanting to kill the man that make me ill.
Our kids, even as adults, don't need to carry these ugly emotions.
I used to make excuses for why the "baby daddy" didn't call or would cancel at last minute - now I jusu say "Call you dad and ask him"
I'm glad he finally got that out - but 11 years is a long long time.
Does he have a safe third party to talk to? He must have so much anger.
