He puts them in front of a tv. The oldest is now old enough to play video games with him so they do all weekend. I do not agree but, it is not something I have a say in. I am simply frustrated that their basic daily hygiene is of no concern to him. I pack their bags each visit and include everything they need. He has no obligation to purchase clothes, toiletries or even food. I am terribly considerate to him in that I even provide transportation because in the past he has claimed that it is not convenient. I do all of these things because the girls want to see him. [/quote] You feel like you do everything and he is not stepping up to the plate, correct? [/quote] Yes. I am so afraid that he just want's the kids to disappear. They need happy interaction with both parents. They ask to see him. [/quote] You and him seperated for reasons. Is he still displaying the characteristics that led to the seperation? [/quote] The separation was because he spent our life savings on a gambling addiction. He hid it for years and when he was offered treatment and help he chose to sell his truck and disappear for 3 months. When he returned he stole jewelry from his grandmother and took another hiatus. The third time he came home the house was empty and I moved into something smaller that I could manage alone. The home we lived in was owned out right. His parents purchased it. I moved when I got a notice he took out a mortgage on it and it was to be foreclosed on. [/quote] If that is the behaviour he diplayed whilst you where together, what makes you think he will display different behaviour when you are seperated? This is now an opportunity for you. In saying that, I refer to an opportunity for growth. I can't advise on the appropriate response. A 2yo has no comprehension and will go with the flow. A 9yo has limited capacity to grasp the context of the seperation. This is a tough one. The reason being is that a man of that character is usually overtly charming, and a 9yo has little defense, especially when it comes to being a little girl appeasing their father. [/quote] [/quote]
