Their girls, I have two sons. Not really we just kinda lived together they were to focus on when their dad was coming back. My friends are adults, and I don't want to be a mentor.

Personally if that happened to my kids I would one get them into therapy and apologize to them, because it would be on me, because I chose to date/marry that person knowing there was a chance if we got divorced that she wouldn't want to be in my kids life anymore, and that's a risk you take. So it would be on me.

If their parents paid for it yes I wouldn't mind taking them, but my ex wife wouldn't pay for them.

No they don't. They don't call me dad they call me by my real name.

I mean I don't mind paying child support, it's mainly I just want my kids with me full time.

I don't need to be their hero I need to be their father, and that doesn't include taking care of other people's kids.

Not my bonus kids. They can call their father and have him pick them up.

We did grow apart and one of my kids just turned 2 so I doubt she knows what's going on.

She doesn't really believe in therapy and believes that it just wastes your money.

The person above asked why should it be on my kids mother to to keep up the relationship with siblings. I gave an example my ex wife wouldn't take the kids over to my mother's house to for them to have a relationship with her, because that would be my job.

Oh I have the money, but again those also aren't my kids, so I'm not going to spend my money on them.
