My ex has several problems that has affected many aspects of his life. He is a compulsive liar, a closet drinker, a stalker and an emotional, psychological and financial abuser and must win. It took me 22 years to gain the inner strength, swallow my pride and divorce him in attempt to find happiness and save my 3 children from the abuse.

He has never bonded with our oldest which is now 18 and out of high school. She will be continuing her education in the fall and is still eligible for medical insurance under his family plan, this does not cost him a dime. When I gave him the school paperwork needed for the insurance, he had a fit with his attorney. No, he doesn't have to provide insurance for her, but I would think he would care about the health of his daughter. Evidently not...

Even when we went to court about modifying the child support because her age, he lied about what he makes a month by approx. $2,000. I had to have the judge force him to give us 1040's and paycheck stubs.... there is still a 2nd job that he makes 1-2K a month. The judge agreed to allow me time to investigate with right for a hearing, forced him to turn over a Section C from his taxes and set the child support, upon my agreement to the correct adjusted amount for his main job. (2nd job is gravy money, not needed for survival) Ex had kids for visitation, told them that the child support was reduced by $60. actually was $25... followed with the statement "So technically I won".

Everything has to be his way all the time it's all about winning. Even when he is not ?

I could care less if he wants to believe he wins all the time, but he is not being a model parent and this behavior is affecting the kids.

Anyone have any suggestions? Kids have resorted to making up excuses for his behavior.
