I hope your family situation works out and, if you have to, you make sure the kids have someone on their side - parenting is a skill and an honour, not a right and bad ones don't deserve their dignity at the expense of the children.

As I watch a situation unroll among some relatives, I wonder if the key in both places is that the father couldn't confront the mother–whether or not he cared, he couldn't do the hard thing, he couldn't make a scene.

And he did have a negative consequence: he didn't get to have you in his life.

~Peace~~
