Doesn’t see the children as his own physical responsibility

Can anyone help. ExDP works abroad and has no consistency to work at all. We have two young children. He literally disappears for months at a time and just demands a a schedule for when it suits him. Is this really how I’m going to have to live the rest of my life. How is it fair on the kids?

The summer holidays are coming up and he made a big deal about how her would be home for it. Only the reality is that’s not the case. I offered him some consistent hours on a schedule for each week. Instead 3 weeks of that time is now to be taken up by work. Although two weeks I’m almost certain he is off abroad to see the OW he had an affair with. He tells me I am being unfair and selfish. Am I? He basically lives his life renting air BnBs and cars and lives out of a suitcase swanning around the world.

Does anyone have any advice for my sanity? I feel like he doesn’t see my perspective at all because he throws money at the situation.

Basically I’m suppose to do all the parenting to facilitate him paying off his mortgage and doing what he wants at the expense on my own ability to have a decent career. But it’s ok because he pays me money. I feel like the hired help or something it’s really getting to me.

would you consider he has an active parenting role?
