It's about the children!

Quote From: allhis

My family has been through the same thing here to My husband as growing up was handed off to anyone.. but when we had children of our own the woman to whom he lived with could not accept the fact that he loved me and not her she was I guess you could say obsessed with him.. She even had us move on some ground so we would be close to her we did have any water at the time we were getting our water lines in as my husband was putting them in.. So me and my two children would go to her house to bath. but before I could bath I would have to scrub her kitchen floor on my hands and knees and my children had to watch me.. with her.. so when I stoped going down when she ws home she told my husband that If I was not gone to bath when she was not there then I did not need to bath at all..so I started calling my father in law to come get us..My husband has cut her completely out of our life. When we had our first child the happpiest day of our life she came to the hospital that same day and looked at me and my husband and told us that our baby should have never been born..

I am a little confused at your response.  My problem is nothing to do with the ex-wife.  It is to do with the children not having a Father (my husband) who openly shows love and emotional support to them.  I wish men wouldn't find it so difficult to show love and support and visit their adult children more often.  My family values are thie "Your Children are your Children until the day they take their Last Breath!!"  But his values are "well they are adults now, we don't need to be so parental"  - Well I agree with him to a point - but he takes it the other way and won't visit them.  He expects them to come to visit him.  And they need him to take an interest. Thanks for your response, but I think our stories are completely different.
