Hi Keaton2007---Unfortunately, your ex does sound like a real pill. Although, keep in mind, it's her not you. Just because you are on depression medicine doesn't mean that you are a horrible father. Yes, it sounds like she has done everything possible to influence your children against you but overtime, it will all come around back on her. It's good that your are still trying to keep up the communciation with them. If your ex is not letting you spend time with your kids, then consulting an attorney might be good thing to consider. If all she does is yell and scream at you or degrade you, you have every right not to speak to her unless it pertains to the children. She can make threats to you all she wants but it won't do any good. As long as you are paying your support and following the visitation rules, then she doesn't have a leg to stand on. My guess is the children are defending her because they are afraid of her. If she says and does these nasty things to you, then she's probably doing it to them as well. She sounds like a very controlling individual and at times becomes physical which she needs to seek medical attention but I'm sure that will never happen. Just continue to give your children the loving support you have always given them. There were come a day when they will appreciate you for it. For right now, the influence of their mother is what's clouding their judgments of you. I certainly hope things do get better for you and I'm sorry this is happening. I don't know if anything I've said has helped you but your not alone with this situation. Please, take care and do what's right in your heart. ↑ |
