Ex-husband turned sons against their sister

Daughter rejected by ex-husband

Family difficulties caused by ex-husband

Now, 6 years on, my ex-husband hasn't bothered with her because after fighting against me for a year to win custody of our 3 children in 2001, she cried so much because she missed me.



What my ex-husband has done to our daughter is truly beyond belief.  Not only has he not bothered with her for the last six years, but he has actually managed to turn his own sons against their sister.

01-12-2007Pepa, I have an exhusband that solely chooses our son over daughter simply because she is a girl. So I can relate in some respects. He has flat told them both that boys belong with their dads and girls with their moms. He does take both of the kids but pays no attention to either one of them but ...moredizyblond32

11-9-2007Dear Lin, I have debts but they are fortunately, not so bad. I have however, stupidly been burrying my head in the sand for a while and/but have finally taken my head up. I have a btter paid job than before (I absoultely loathe it but hey!) and so am now starting to pay larger amounts towards the...moreserenity
21-8-2007Hello All, Since my ex left us for his receptionist 6 years ago (they had been having an affair for 20 years....) and moved to France, he has shown no interest in our girl who is 13 years old. I have also had major financial problems, mainly due to my own fault, but recovering emotionally has tak...moreLin
29-7-2007My exhusband wouldn't speak to our daughter coz she would be on her mother's side. He'd call our son or drop in to see him but wouldn't have any contact with her. 12 months on he moved with an older woman and her elder son. He and his mates got to know our daughter and her frien...moreGG
18-6-2007Sheldon, thank you. I agree with what you have posted - more or less every word. I too chose to move on and with logic, I can accept the words that you use; that I have already used to myself. That is "head". When it comes to heart - my daughters live in mine, even though he no longer d...morepointless
18-6-2007Continued from previous post So, if he has chosen to move forward and leave his former life behind then that is a decision you have to live with. It may not be what you or your children want. It may not even be what he really wants, but he has made a decision and will have to follow that path now...moreSheldon
18-6-2007I'm not going to try and justify what he has done but I will try to put across a point of view. You may not agree with it, that is your right, but never the less at least consider it. I am male. I believe that our lives are made up of four distinct areas, the past, present, future and the after...moreSheldon
17-6-2007Sheldon, well at least this time, there would appear to be no "slant" to your post. What reason did he give? None! What reason have I managed to come up with for our daughters? None! I cannot, I CANNOT - and I have tried, put myself in his position and imagine myself EVER making a simil...morepointless
11-6-2007It sounds to me that you don't like anybody disagreeing with you. When you have a discussion it is not possible for one side to be 100% right in every aspect. If you believe you are then you are misguided. I'm not doubting that he has acted badly. I'm just saying that I suspect that you ...moreSheldon
10-6-2007Sheldon, you are an idiot. I would guess from your comments you are way more like my ex than you could ever be like me. If somebody, ANYbody causes one of my children to be sad, upset, filled with grief, crying tears, then rest assured until the day I draw my last breath, it IS my business. You o...morepointless
21-5-2007Yes, it may concern you, but it isn't your business. If he has chosen not to invite them to his wedding then he is wrong. It may be that there is another reason that either he is not telling you, or you are not telling us. I suspect it is not as clear cut as him not wanting them there.Sheldon
