I feel for him, and I feel for my other child.
One of my offspring has cut off all communication with her father, my ex-husband. He hasn’t even met his 4-year-old grandson. My other child has a close relationship with my ex.
I feel for him, and I feel for my other child, who faces awkwardness when planning kids’ birthday parties, etc. Is there anything I can do?Your ex-husband has to be responsible for his choices and behavior, past and present. Trying to manage the relationship he has with your children is only going to cause you more grief. You’ve spent years taking on more than your share of familial burdens. It’s time to detach with love.
I think that I may be overreacting, but I haven’t been faced with seeing him since the divorce. Should I decline the invitation since they’re his friends first?If you’re still close with your goddaughter’s family and it would hurt them to not have you there, you should go. You don’t have to interact with your ex. You don’t even have to speak with him, if you don’t want. You’re there for her.It’s been a long time since your marriage.
Relationships are dependent on clear communication and trust. Even if he has needs that he feels like you can’t meet, it’s his responsibility to share those with you before logging on to Amazon and firing up the sext machine.
