My Husband Abandoned Me at the Worst Moment. Now He’s Manipulating the Kids to Get Me Back.

Slate  

Slate Plus members get more Care and Feeding every week. The problem is, he’s complained to our teenage kids how I’m keeping the family from getting back together. I always made sure not to badmouth him to our kids, even though I was blindsided and devastated, but now they’re angry with me because they’re blaming me for their dad leaving. I know the common advice is to never badmouth the kids’ other parent, but how do I get them to understand that their dad was the one who left when I had cancer and needed him the most, that he’s the one who broke up the family? The next step is to talk to your kids, and you’re right—you shouldn’t trash him by calling him the selfish jerk that he clearly is, because that will only hurt you in the long run.
