My daughter’s father abandoned her at the age of three and it has damaged her self esteem, etc. I couldn't force him to see her and left the door open throughout her growing years. She is now in her 20s and it still hurts her.
These things were not taken care of before my marriage to my stbx. His ex and children created a lot of heartache for our marriage. He followed through with the legal end while we were together because the ex kept his kids away from him due to our marriage. This is 1 of the major reasons of our demise. He didn't want hassle or problems all the years of their divorce and basically kept taking care of household needs, etc for the ex & kids. Holidays were spent together, etc. When he decided to move on with his life and fall in love with me (it could have been anyone) - the ex & kids reacted with death threats, etc. Over the past few years this has caused irreparable damage to our marriage and we are now divorcing. Counseling was much needed but not adhered to. Good luck and go for it. You have rights too.
