| Dear Carolyn: I have a son, 14, and daughter, 17. Their dad and I divorced 4 years ago, and they live with me. Dad comes over once a week to make dinner for them, does most soccer carpool for my son and sometimes plays pool with him. He has been dating someone for the last year. For the last few months, the kids feel he prioritizes time with her. For example: He came over Christmas morning for just an hour and then left to spend the rest of the day with her. My son was hurt, and my daughter was angry. They feel he’s been leaving his dinner days early. When my daughter, who didn’t even want to see him for more than a year, asked him to stay, he said he had to go because his girlfriend was waiting for him… |
