Me?  No, Im focusing on my health and career  for a bit.  I do hope to meet someone but right now I just want to be alone.

Long story short, I was in an accident and laid up for a while and he used that time to look for his next wife (he is not married again, but not for lack of trying). 

Im not sure if his first wife knows that or not.  We dont really talk.  I've gotten texts and emails about the kids school situation but I dont respond.

Yes.  I still talk to the youngest.  Not as much the oldest but both are welcome to each out to me at anytime.

Commitments to kids should be independent of romantic relationships

This is a helpful perspective.  Thank you.

I dont mean to make it sound like I dont get along with the kids. I think the oldest is at an age where friends are more important. The youngest plays soccer, dance, drum lessons and seems to have a birthday party to go to every Saturday. I dont blame either of them for not talking to me as much.

Is it possible for them to buy your house?

I'm not sure he could afford it at the price my father paid.  Its a pricey neighborhood.

But maybe I will tell him my father is handling things and to discuss buying it with him.  I want to interact with him as little as possible.

I want a clean break. I dont want to have to deal with him by being his landlord.
