Hi!
You are definately not alone! Unfortunately a lot of men are irresponsible and don't do well as parents. I have 3 kids with my ex husband, and my kids are getting older now. For many years I watched their father go in and out of their lives. It broke my heart to see how much my kids seemed to want (and need) his attention. Then I decided to just stop letting him come around, I stopped taking his calls, and my kids seem better for it. At first it was hard they missed him(like they did EVERY time he's left). But this has allowed them to heal, and build confidence and self esteem. His rejection and leaving tore those things from my kids. If he really got his life together, and could SHOW me that it has changed I would allow him to see the kids, but they way I see it, untill then I need to protect my kids any way I can.
