a change--how do u take it

View More Posts
Well for the last several months my ex has been a real nasty rude person and seemingly has been about herself and not the kids. I have all 4 at home right now, her 2 boys and our 2 girls. She is letting the grils stay here more often during her visitation as in her parenting classes that she just took they had a presentation telling her that for the first 2 years the children should not be forced to go anywhere when they do not want to. Now this is from a woman who on thanksgiving took 2 young girls out of the house screaming and kicking telling me i need help put them into the car. So she can have her equitable time with them. Now she is telling me that this has changed. I am not convinced as i am in the process of trying to get full phyiscal custody to give the kids a stable place. Not sure how to take her New change that has been in the last week. What do u say ?

" Could be that she just wants more time to pursue her own selfish desires. Kills me to think a parent would not want to spend time with his/her kids, but then again my STBX (self-proclaimed dad of the century) has spent almost no time with my son since he left 8 weeks ago and he is only 5 minutes away. It really sucks that she is doing this because it really only hurts the kids who are left confused and feeling abandoned by their mom. You are a great dad so I know you and the kids will get through this. "

" i would say it too early to tell whether the change is for the better or not. if this lasts longer than a week than fine maybe she really is trying but i wouldn't make any drastic decisions right away. "

" People are capable of change...but NOT that quickly! Take things with a grain of salt (but do try to keep your mind ajar - though not totally open). Protect the children, they are the "innocents" involved in this. "

" i Commend you for being a good dad to your kids. My stbx just lives 12 miles from me and could see our son whenever he wants but chooses not to.
Don't trust her when she says shes changed. How can a person change in a week? Hugs to you!! "

" Be wary--that's a fast change. Also, document things--keep a journal-times, dates, how often she leaves the girls, spends time with the boys, misses visits, etc.

Stay strong. "
