Life a question for those divorced with kids...

Sounds like this guy is just disengaged. Whether he never wanted to have kids, or is dealing with deployment or maybe feelings of being a failed father/husband.

I think if these kids have you in their lives as a source of happiness and guidance and you want to continue that role, talk to the mom about maybe taking them overnight once in a while. I'm sure she'd appreciate the break.

My parents divorced when I was 8. We were almost glad because they fought alot and we figured our house would now be more peaceful. We loved both our parents equally though. Our dad took us every other weekend. It came to a point where he would just pull in the bottom of the driveway and honk the horn, because when he came in they'd fight.
