Man. It is the case of taking some time. Be solid. The kids will figure it out around 10-12 years old if this is happening with them at that age. Be the best person you can be. Expect the ex to find a new guy. You do not/should not bring a new woman in. It will correct itself but trust me this will be a tough one and that is the way it is.

Still finishing up my divorce but the best advice I can give you has already been given. Definitely seek counseling for you and the kids. If your ex is a pos, you won’t have to point it out to them. Turn the custody swap into a healthy competition where you spend as much time as possible on your kids..:that means actually interacting with them instead of posting on here or watching Netflix. Your kids WILL eventually mention this to their mother and she will be forced to do the same. Whatever you invest in now will return in spades later so choose wisely.

I know people whose kids have struggle with this. I've seen some success with rotating schedule like this (after school exchange):

Mom - Every Monday, Tuesday
Dad - Every Wednesday, Thursday

Rotate every other Friday, Saturday, Sunday

So one week they are with their Mother after school on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. They go to the Dad's Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Saturday and Sunday...


If one household has some parenting (or lack there of) issues, they are only in it for 5 days at a time, rather than 7.
