What was the reason your children stopped seeing/speaking to their father?

[DilemmaEmma2]

I've seen lots of threads on here about children losing contact with their fathers or not wanting to see them anymore.
I have a 5 year old and I am wishing the time away that she can vote with her feet, her father is vile and abusive (has been to us both)

@Fifireee , that is absolutely horrific

I can't even get over this!

I think his habit of throwing people out did it. He did it to me first. Fine. Kicked eldest out cos he was moving in with gf and the older son was an adult by then (age 19) so no maintenance either way. Younger one was kicked out at 16 for asking his gf if she could keep the noise down as she had to work in the morning... And left on the doorstep with no transport in January. Charmer and can't understand wht he did wrong...

My dd was in her mid teens. I tried my best to facilitate a reconciliation, even though I completely got why she had made the decision.
Ive been continually and quite nastily accused by him of parental alienation, both to my face and behind my back to others which couldn't be further from the truth and means I will no longer have any non essential communication with him.
His lack of accountability, effort to DO something rather than just chuck meaningless words her way, or understanding of his own kids has done the damage with her and I sadly think he is going to repeat the mistakes with my youngest.

Beggars belief.. honestly

Useless and a waste of space - even when I was with him. He was abusive to me and threatened to throw acid on me.

My eldest can see right through him and has disliked him since he was 3. He is going to be 13 soon and has zero respect for him and I think he pity's his father if I'm honest. My daughter loves her dad but is nearly 10 and is starting to see through him. They see him every few months and he doesn't care or make an effort.
