I’m divorced. Have never had another relationship since. Not interested. My two daughters are the happiest, most well-adjusted kids around.
The secret? I live close to them. My ex treats me more respectfully now than when we were married, because she needs the baby-sitting service. She NEEDS my help, time-to-time, and so, is finally respectful. She never bad-mouths me to my kids, because it would get back to me.
I have the kids 2-3 times per week, mostly after school. They don’t feel abandoned. I’m still their Father, and actively involved in their lives, especially as regards discipline. So, I have good, happy kids. The exception to the rule, it seems, but not really, because it is about fatherhood.
