Your example is not extreme at all. I broke my foot at the gym, I needed help to go to hospital and come back home. He showed up with his kids but all he said "ouch it looks bad, but we got to go. I promised kids to take them to the movie. When we have done, I will call you."

You can imagine how much I cried in the hospital and I am alone here. I had to call a friend to help me go back home. My friend was shocked saying how it's even possible he's not here for you. He could have canceled the movie day with his kids.

No, my broken foot was not as important as taking his kids to the movie.


**** it. Parents should not date. It's selfish to drag another human being to their messed up life. Either stay with your kids' mother or don't dare till your kids are out of home.
