Happened to me in two marriages, that women use the kids to 'get even'. No reason. No violance ever. Not even adultry!

As a man, if it was reversed, I would never concider that fact. I'm getting to the point that women might not be so 'sensitive' as they want us to believe.

At least I learned I never want a Dutch woman again in my life. I'd rather live as a reclouse.

Maybe I got the wrong women, but I won't give up until I find the one and only. Just hope it's before I'm 105 (like my great aunt)..

Ever hear the saying hell hath no fury like a woman scorned? ...lol. Vindictive comes on both sides ...but kids do seem to give you leverage if you want to use then. There are men using that leverage by taking the kids themselves....the times they are a changin

I can relate to that. He is the master at using the kids as leverage.

I think it can go both ways and gender does not matter.

Don't feel like the lone ranger.

Men and women are both manipulative and cruel sometimes.

I refuse to hold my ex husbands problems against every other man in the world, because they are not him.

I will choose love again and will choose trust.


But beware the PLAYERS and those just out to see what the other side of the fence looks like, I am not to be messed with either.


So, THINK TWICE.

never used my kids aginst my husbands but my last ex is mean and passive aggressive.Some men and women have the brains and maturity of Grape Ape.
I love men still,only 3 who can go to hell.Anyway always say great things about the ex in front of the kids no matter what games the ex plays because you will win your kids respect in the end.

That is very wrong using the kids like that. They should not male or female. My x did that to me.

yo! Dix u called it!



and for what you think you didn't do to deserve it??


10 other men did... sooo accumulation of the karma i guess

all i have to do is look at the idiocy of sports and the money spent on defense because men are so insecure and need all these macho games of war and competition...and it becomes



well difficult to not rage....then i remind myself


mothers raised these sons



we need a whole new several generations of mothers raising their sons differently, before there will be ANY MAN ON THE MARKET

that could possibly turn my head!

My ex could have changed my outlook about men for the rest of my life, and while he did produce a negative feeling for them in general at first, not every one of them is a JERK.

vendettas...

well, if it means protectimg my kids and myself? you bet!

an out of control ex is not fun.

I do know some women do use kids, and other things to gain power, and it's not okay.

alex, not all this has to do with bush, so lay off it. really tired of it.

most single mothers do the best they can.. we don't all have a circle of family and friends surrounding us in real life. we ahve to depend on ourselves...

when in the midst of all this, do I really care about bush? no, I don't.

it has no place.

Do you mean why can SOME PEOPLE be vindictive???conversing Dreamkeeper?? Because we are all human and we all have emotions . Some can deal with them some can't. Especially when it is hurt, than anger, then sometimes, rage and whatever else they feel. Emotions Suckmoping Wouldn't it be nizzze if we could program ourselves appriotely (spell check)! To the situation at hand.thumbs up thumbs down ( Robotics)????dunno

No I didn't mean that at all. I think women hold a grudge much longer then men in general. like a few said 'A woman scorned'.

In my case the first ex didn't let me see the kids. I went to court 4 x but lost all,because she made such a drama, that the judge said it wouldn't be peaceful for the kids.
Then I didn't see for years, until I started my own business and made serious money. After a little talk, I could see the kids if I paid her $300.- a month. I also bought them new bycicles, etc.
When the company went bankrupt and the money was gone, so were the kids. I haven't seen or heard from them in a decade.

My second ex was 'completely' different. She always promised she'd never keep the kids away from me, whatever happened between us.
This worked out well on a voluntary basis. Then a few years ago I got a letter to appear in court. For no reason she all of a sudden demanded full custody!!
I studied a bit of law since and took an older, calm lawyer, while she had a young woman. Well, I won. When I asked her about her motives, she only said she wanted it this way. (???)
After that I saw the kids regurarly, but now, after being alone for 10 years mommy got a boyfriend and now she doesn't need me anymore to take care of the kids when she wants a weekend alone.

Before anybody starts giving psychological advise: I've been a hypnotherapist for 10 years. In the cases which involved marriage or divorce problems, in almost 90% it were women who had the problems.

I guess letting go is more hard for them.
