Hi,
I'm new here and quite honestly I never thought I would end up in a divorce. I've been divorced for about three years now. While I was married, my ex worked very long hours and to that end he was very rarely home. Our marriage declined when he decided that he wanted more freedom to go out every night and do as he pleased when he wasn't at work. When we divorced, he gave me full custody of the children with his having liberal visitation. For him, liberal visitation means one day a week for about 7 hours with my daughter (she is not in school) and 4 hours with my son (he is in school). His work hours are still somewhat long but he usually has evenings and Sundays off. He never asks to have the children and when I offer, he begs off because of other plans.
Recently, he has been cancelling even his Wednesday visits. (the last four actually) I want him to be more active in his children's lives. His son misses him terribly, our daughter really doesn't seem to mind. I have to answer DS's questions about his father and I tell him that daddy had something important to do. But my son is 8 and very perceptive. It's hurting him that his father isn't around. How can I help him? Would it help to have DS tell his father how he feels?
