I left my kids with their dad, and I'm not going back.
Wow...how did you feel about leaving your kids with their dad?
It made me feel great.
You need to be there for your children. You need to go back and be a better parent.
No, my ex can take care of them just fine. I want time to myself.
Everyone needs time to themselves, but you can't just abandon your kids like that. If nothing else, you will probably need them in your old age.
