Sorry to hear that your girls feel like that. It sure is hard on the children but sometimes kids are resilient and bounce back after things that we do as adults. I know after reading some of your entries that you are a good foundation for all of your kids. So with that foundation your girls will have a good resource to share their feelings with but the law says that they have to see dad no mater what they feel which is kind of sad. My wife’s 11 year old dad finally agreed to let her decide her summers and when to spend it with him. Before now he would say that he was getting shorted of his time with her. We are lucky in those decisions. But it sounds like your Ex is on the other scale of being selfish and looking out for himself. Which is very sad, it seems that life should be for helping our kids getting a good start at life themselves.
