My situation was completely different the kids father didn't want anything to do with my kids especially my daughter, then time passed he started to see the boys occasionally and would ring but never ask about her, I was the one that was angry and bitter and I fought for him to see them but my efforts where wasted, he was killed in a ute vs truck accident 7 years ago now so it was a waste my kids missed out. Its taken a long time for me to forgive myself thinking I should have tried harder, but now I realise that you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink. At the end of the day he and his family have missed and are missing out on 3 awesome (well most of the time) kids.
So yeah time is the most precious thing.
