Yes, eventually, they did approach him after five years without. He is paying now but he has moved to Sweden, so I don't know if the Canadian courts can go after him to collect if he decides to stop again. The last time, he was in the military and the defense department was automatically garnishing the child support from his wages. So, he left the military and I did not get a cent from him for five years. Now, we only found out by mistake that he moved to Sweden with a Swedish woman he was dating and he never even told his kids that he was leaving. Now, the oldest, who is 17, decided he doesn't want to call him Dad anymore. His father's idea of communication is email once every couple of years and he had the nerve to ask the son to call him Dad!!!

I have to stop because I get too emotional about him still and that is what bothers me. I should have been able to confidently snub him and be happy he didn't stick around. But, everytime he upsets the boys, I get upset again like it was yesterday. I have to conquer this hate.
