My DH has an ex like the one you
described. When the kids grew up, they each came to visit on their own,
and discovered that my DH was not the ogre his ex had always told them
he was.


Boy, ain't that the truth. My dh's son was here yesterday, for his 21st
birthday, which he chose to spend with us instead of his mother. She had the
boy convinced that his father had "abandoned" him, (even tho he was never late
on a visitation or payment...and took as MUCH time with him as the ex and the
courts would let him have), among other things. She also convinced him that
since we live in California, that he would most likely come visit us, and die
here, due to some accidental death in the swimming pool or spa or something.
No wonder the kid threw up every time he left home, eh?

Well, the beauty of is that he now sees BOTH parents through the eyes of a
(young, admittedly) adult perspective, and realizes that his mom is a psycho,
and his dad is the only stable thing in his life. DUH!

Why do parents DO these things to their children?..(rhetorical
question...thanks)
