I have 2 young children they spend a fair amount of time with their father, but he takes very little responsibility for their lives. He has and continues to be very difficult and the relationship between us is dreadful (domestic abuse) from him side, which he doesn't acknowledge. Any how it really upsets me the lack of interest he takes in their lives. He wont do their homework, rarely baths them, often doesn't change their clothes or underwear. Doenst attend school events or have an interest in any medical appointment. Wont take them to birthday parties or take them to see his family so they can see their granny. The list goes on and on and on.
Now i know it must be hard if you dont live with your children and it must be easy to be come detached but hes given every opportunity to be move involved but hes just odd about it all. I thought things would become better when he sew less off me (now picks up and drops at school). Was hoping he could concentrate more on the children but it appears that nothing has changed. Their beautiful children and i know there will start to notice when they get older that mummy plays the parenting caring role and well daddy doesn't.
Does the none residing parent often act this way??
