I have to vent and I have nobody to talk to right now.

So today was father's day and I got into an argument with my ex over the phone. She took the kids and kept them all day, they never even called to wish me a happy father's day. Then she called me 1.5 hours ago and said "The kids want to stay here, so they won't be coming back to your house tonight". So I didn't get to see my kids or talk to them today. I'm really angry and frustrated right now. I think it's incredibly wrong to use kids as weapons when you are angry. Even if she was right and I was wrong, nothing justifies keeping my kids away from me today. I could hear my daughter telling her mother that she wanted to see me when her mother was telling me that she (my daughter) didn't.

its sad and sorry but some women think its the best way to get what they want. its being done to me too. i know how you feel. if it gets bad enough go talk to a fathers rights attorney, they will get you help. best of luck to ya

well listen to this the jerk call my son talked to him for 5 minutes he said he'd call back in 20 minites about 7 hrs ago.he just lies to my son anyways

i have 5-kid's and not one of them called me either ?

No woman should keep the kids away from their dads on Father's Day....no matter how mad they are....how would she feel if you did that on Mother's Day....

No matter how mad I get at my ex, my son is encouraged to spend time with his dad on Father's Day, or any other time for that matter....sorry you had a crappy day.

Hey Scmb,
I have to tell you as a single dad of over ten years... kids remember, learn, and grow from their experiences. If this is how your ex is it will come back and bite her in the backside at some point from the kids themselves....
I certainly understand the anger your feeling, the best thing I found to deal with the intermitten absense of my kids is to take full advantage of the time they are with me... make your next full day with them "fathers day"....
good luck to you......
dave...........

Not all women are ike that... I would never do it to my ex..

I dont as a matter of fact.. He was out of town yeterday but the kids called himand talked to him .. made plans for a "late fathers day dinner" next weekend..

Im sorry your day sucked when it didnt have too..

I must agree a Fathers Rights Attorney might not be a bad idea.. Good luck darling

Very well said.

I'm sorry my friend. I feel ya' my ex is like that, too. In many ways.

I have to agree....my daughters father's hasnt sent a dime in child support since before easter....but as soon as school let out I put her on a plane to go see him...sadly enough he had her for fathers day...my mother was going to wait till Monday to go get her from her dads to spend time with her and do you know what he said....oh yea its ok come get her on sunday. he lives over an hour away...and she told me tonight that he seemed to want to get rid of her....I always told him that I would never keep her away from him if we split....so I kept my word....he didnt keep his though because he said he would never not pay child support for his child. Its ok with me...I can raise my daughter without him...but it would be nice to be able to look at my daughter and say that her daddy sent her money to do stuff with....
