"I use the term MY children alot because I have pretty much supported them in everyway but financially for years."
So he earned the money and you spent it. Why is it you think that makes YOU the greater supporter? Could you have supported them at the level you did WITHOUT his income? Then I guess his income is pretty important, huh? Why is it that some WOMEN cannot see that SOMEONE has to earn the money they spend.
"I live for them, they depend on me."
Your oldest is TWENTY, he should depend on HIMSELF, not YOU.
"Well now he doesn't want to support them financially either."
No, he doesn't want to continue to support and ADULT. Quite reasonable.
"and something guys don't understand as well is that kids are smart, and kids become smart adults. They figure it out. The good guy facade works for a little while. Then your kids grow up and see them for what they are."
You are correct, but I don't think it is in the way YOU think. They also grow up to see past people who would use the children as pawns in the divorce, as you are willing to do, and they also see the parents who let them make their own mistakes and not cover for them and support them well into adulthood.
