past weekend visitation
Last weekend, STBXNH came to visit kids. We live across country from him. When he visits he uses my house during the day and I leave. I do this for the kids. They around familiar setting, have toys, books, etc. At night, he goes to hotel. THe first day, he watched a car race for three hours upstairs in my bedroom, and the kids sat on the bed or played on the floor next to the bed while he watched TV. When I got home in the afternoon, he then takes the kids outside to do something. Race is over. At night, he wants to leave early to go back to hotel because another car race is on tv. He takes one of my sons back to the hotel. At eleven at night, I get a call from STBXNH that he is dropping off our son, because son is crying and wants to be home with mom. My husband drops him off, told me he gave him the silent treatment in the car on the way back home, and then does not say good bye to son. Mind you, he is five. The next day, STBXNH does not show up to our house to see kids until one in the afternoon. I take off to do some erands, and when I get back, he is upstairs again, with the boys watching another car race!!!!
Once I am home, and he has an audience, he starts playing super dad again. He cooks dinner, and plays with the kids. I don't leave because the boys ask me not to.
Question...When is enough enough? Do I have to keep on supporting this relationship with father? Is it in the best interest of children to have a relationship with father? I am so confused. I know I need no contact with the man, but what about the kids? Everyone tells me that I need to support their relationship[ with their father....
