I thought the stephmom was very gentle and polite and came across as really wanting the best for her husband and his children. The more I listened, the more I began to resent the respectless yelling, crying, talking loud at the same time of the children and their mom joined in cheerfully. I don't know who's lying or who is telling the truth. But I find mom very agressive and I would not be at all surprised to hear that she DID block the phone, closed down Facebook and made it even more difficult then the situation already was.

Obvious an clear example of parental alienation. Theirs no reason he only has visitors rights. He isn't abusive he isn't a drug addict an he isn't a alcoholic. Chances are his case was judged by a female judge who are often sexist an give women all the power in divorces. That or the judge was high on crack or something. Honestly think about what he has truly done wrong by not playing into his ex wife's hand. He wouldn't have been able to father those kids under her guidelines regardless. This just stops the turmoil for the children who would have been constantly caught in their fights. He had no choice but to leave it you look at it from a child care perspective.

​​@@jennifersuzannebk5149 you are so far off base here. I lived with a man thar was just like this sorry excuse of a father. When we divorced, our divorce was presided over by a male judge and ge awarded me sole custody and only gave my ex-husband visitation, at my discretion. Why? Because he was abusive, he would throw things at me and the kids, he would demean us, he would play mind games, so on an so forth. Abuse is not just physical and I have news for you, this pathetic waste of testosterone is abusive. Judges don't just hand out sole custody with visitation for no reason, and the judges aren't all women and they aren't drugged up either. The fact that his new wife is only getting his version and doesn't know the entire dynamic and thinks she should be respected just because she's an adult shows that she truly knows nothing. My ex-husband told his current boo Thang that ge left me, he didn't, I kicked him out and u filed for divorce because I was done being abused and he was cheating on me with a 20 year old that he knocked up with triplets. My daughter told her the truth and then she found out he was a liar and a manipulating narcissist, just like this abusive, narcissistic liar is. If you think it's OK for a parent to verbally abuse their children I have pity on EVERYONE in your world. This isn't parental alienation, this is a narcissist getting mad and trying to blame everyone else for his own self made issues.

"Why are you so mad at your children?" "Because they're on her side!" Dude, they are on their own side. They see and hear everything, and can make up their own decisions about you. I'm honestly amazed that they still want a relationship with you considering how you treat them. That should honestly be a red flag for his new wife.

I am gonna get alot of hate but I totally believe that the mother is manipulating the relationship between this man and his children. I can tell that he has a relationship with God. They have not right to hold it against him because he remarried. He has a right to feel love and support also. The way most states have child support set up is truly bias and in the mother's favor (she usually has physical custody). This is. coming from a woman that never received child support from my ex-husband even though he was court ordered too. However the man that raised my four kids paid 500 a. month child support on his daughter that lived with us. My stepdaughter would call me and I would go get her all the time. She asked. me. if. she could live with us and her mother let her. Then she told my step daughter that if we stopped.paying child support she would no longer have visits with her because she wouldn't be able to take her shopping or put to eat. So we.paid.for.5 years.sje.lived.with us..I just set there.and.watched that man's kids talk down to him and roll their eyes at his wife. They should be.a more respectful.

This was the ex wife's plan from the very beginning. Also for those calling him a dead beat. How is he a dead beat an a father to kids? Dead beats don't wanns be fathers an run away. He didnt run he made a calculated decision to leave an allow his wife to parent the kids.

This woman here has alienated these kids from their father. They will wake up one day.

With such hatred against his children, he doesn't deserve them. The new wife is pouring poison on the situation. Why is she being allowed to even be there. That is so wrong.

I hear what the father is saying and I hope that he stopped using every excuse not to see his children, but unfortunately I don´t think anything changed.

As their father, it is Todd's responsibility to make himself available for his children. But, he is so resentful of the children's mother and the financial success that sge and her husband have achieved. Todd keeps saying that he loves his kids, but he does not put feet to the words. He gas a history of not being there financially or physically for his kids.

OMG I WAS SCREAMING THIS! It’s YOUR responsibility as father to foster a relationship, your kids shouldn’t be hunting you down to talk. And his wife is fine because her kids are taken care of.

@@TiaNichole17 I am not impressed with her behaviour either , but I can understand her....

The father knew he had financial obligations to his children yet he remarried. Apparently he doesn't have a steady job. Those kids are old enough now to understand finances and why their mom can't afford certain things. It's his responsibility to work and pay his obligations. On the other hand, he should exercise his parental visitation without excuses. Step mom should step back on her opinions with the children.

@@caroljohnson9230Well lucky the Mother and 2 kids have jobs right??? He can get a godamn job if he wanted.

He's a deadbeat narcissist. It's everyone else's fault but his. And why does he think his ex wife has to do anything for him?? They are no longer married! His new plug should be his secretary!

I feel so sorry for the kids 😭😞. His daughter is right because he doesn't seem to care about his kids. And his son is heading to the military and the father doesn't even care. In my opinion this guy and his new wife seem to think that they have done nothing wrong and they are completely narcissistic. Wife #2 needs to stay out of it and shut her mouth.

what people don't understand about a man like this is that if the kids open themselves up to him, he will hurt them over and over. the pain comes in stupid nonsense said over the phone, excuses, bitterness, giving more attention to other people's children, lies, not showing up... i felt like i had a hole from the absence of my father until age 48 when a therapist suggested how much worse it would have been if someone like him actually was in my life. some men are just trash and this man is childish and most likely garbage.

So it is unfair to force kids to "see" who their father is.

The ex wife is so annoying!!

Calling the kids’ reasonable emotional response to this egocentric absentee father “dramatic” is disgusting.

Growing up it would be years before I saw my mother. I was raised by a single father. You grow up and realize people make time for who they want!

The wife should come first in the family, WHEN YOU ARE MARRIED TO THEIR MOTHER! When you get remarried, the children need to come first until they are 18.

He's full of it! He says anything he thinks people want to hear.

This is what happens when you try to force a narcissist to human

Tod is a narcissist it’s ridiculous he thinks he such a prize that the ex wife can’t let go of him she married someone else she not interested in him and she not being unreasonable at all she asking him to do his moral and legal obligation and help support the kids he helped create. Tod should be grateful his kids even want to speak with him I wouldn’t. The kids are not they are justifiably fed up with his excuses for not being there for them and hearing him blame the mom.

I wish I had a dr Phil to speak to my ex. The last time he saw his girls was 2001. He did not want to pay child support had the same accuses but his income was 4 times more than mine. I took his children to his parents for holidays and he still refuse to see them there😢😢😢 I pretend to give them gifts on his behalf when the were 6 to 14 years but then they catched on that he did not love them 😢 The Bible talk about a fathers love so there must be something terribly wrong when a man do not have love for his children

I am still estranged from my baby girl. It has been ten years. I have terminal cancer. I am very close with her other sisters. They don't understand the damage this man has done to our relationship. I figured she will come around someday. I love her. I have no idea how he traumatized her. I refused to drag her through the court system. My gift to her was freedom with love. She knows I love her. We text sometimes. (Only when I send her gifts) The silver lining is that I moved into my parents and took care of them until their deaths. I wouldn't give up the opportunity to love, love ,love my folks. I was devastated. They died within 10 days of each other. She died of Broken Heart syndrome and my father starved himself to death. It was a lot.

She wants to create division and she has toxified those kids to their father and has taught them how to fight sarcastically, be victims, and have unrealistic demands. When the demands aren't met, she has taught them how to stone wall and exact revenge.

Wow...he talks and talks and doesn't say a thing!

Those girls don't have a very good father, but they have a darned good big brother. Their brother is a mature, insightful, responsible young man. He seems very willing to step up as a male figure in their lives. I'm sure they are all grown up, but God Bless these kids❤

Nobody is blameless in this family. Everyone seems to want to be the biggest victim but no compromise at all from anyone. The kids need to get over that their father and mother are not together and too hate anyone he’s with helps nobody. Life is tough and I believe that the ex wife has poisoned the kids against their father. She should have never said anything about child support to their children. And she admitted that she has done everything to keep him from the kids.

I haven’t had a job.... so therefore he has time!

Horrible father. It’s a dang shame

Your kids may not remember all the fun times you spent together when they were growing up but they will definitely remember all the times you weren't there for them.

I’m surprised no one is picking up on how manipulative the mother is. She set up roadblocks and expected him to jump through hoops. This woman is evil.

They(the children) are parroting what their mother has been saying all their lives. So obvious. So sad.

That mother has contributed GREATLY to her children's pain . Both parents need to get a grip.

At the end of the day, these poor children just wanted to hear, "I'm sorry " from their father. Something he didn't even say once. It's such a shame as a parent to keep continuing to make excuses, along with being in constant defense mode instead of just truly apologizing and then asking to move forward. I hope everything goes well for the family.

Bet he doesn't man up

His new wife is jealous of his children and ex wife !

The brother taking up for his sister shows a great young man!!

My daughter is going through a similar situation and has gone 100% no contact with her father. That is his future.

I'm sorry why would the father, have to find out through the hospital when his daughters surgery is? He remarried, and they are bitter about that. The mom definitely turned the kids against their father.
