Dotsie, you are right, he is so guilty and has no reason to. What attracted me to him initially was what a great dad he was. My ex was a an awful father. I also knew him in my other life (first marriage). I felt safe, he knew my kids, he even knew my ex ( I knew his too. We were also getting diovrced at the same time. Misery loveds company. His ex divorced him mostly because of money. He lost is job about 10 years into the marriage. Her father is very wealthy and helped finance his new business. The ex continued to work. The business failed and so did the marriage. So he is broke and Daddy kept filtering money to her. He knows how spoiled and badly behaved they are, but for some reason is so guilt ridden, he just puts up with it. And as far as I go, I'm really down on the food chain. It makes it almost impossible to like these kids. And of course, I'm the bad guy. Any advice?
