Millions of people get divorced; some lose contact with their kids. More men than women, I read. But not deliberately, it just happens over time. My ex hates his kids. He simply despises them, wants to cut them from his life, pretend they don't exist. Because they remind him of me and his "horrible mistake" in marrying me. D is over it, and a bit older, but even so it has to hurt. It's really hurting S; she doesn't understand what she did wrong. Nothing. He's such a bad person; no one likes him. I just hope they'll be OK.
