He is not a part of their lives any more - his choice and theirs but my kids would not be who they are without him so I have that to be thankful for. I hope they will learn from my current husband what a loving marriage can be.

I think it's also important to have Mummy and Daddy time away from the children every now and then because this is a very important part of sustaining a strong, affectionate relationship amongst the stresses of work and other responsibilities.

I'm sure it did happen on occasion, but obviously not enough for me to remember it. The good thing that came out of it though is that it made me really determined to give my children a different upbringing.

I don't remember my parents telling me they loved me, I don't remember being showered with the abundance of cuddles I have for my own children... not that they didn't love us, but they were brought up differently.
