I have six children and four are over 18, one is 17 and the last one 15. They all seem to think their dad is a better parent because he hit them, grounded them and even ran them out of the house. He called them names and made them feel small. I on the other hand, never hit my children and talked with them about things and tried to guide them in the right direction and have always been there for them. If they really need money or clothes or help with a bill, I try to do that too within reason. My ex does none of this. When I ask my children if I was a good parent, they say that even though their dad did do mean things to them, he made them better people. I don't understand, I took them to church, to school, let their friends come over and was always trying to keep peace in the family. My husband and I divorced early in their lives and he never paid child support. Can you give me some insight? I guess I can't do it over but I certainly have sacrficed for them and never had anything for m
