I can't wait until when my kids stop hating me, when I explain why I'm giving them frick all for college in (let's track how much I paid your mom in the last ten years and ask where that money went.) Hundreds of thousands of $. But I'll still be the a-hole. I won't explain it until they're adults. Sure, daughter, go to Vanderbilt for a Creative Studies degree or some shite. Bye.
How old are your kids? You may feel like you’re the ahole but eventually they’ll see you’re not.

One just turned 10, and the other will turn 12 next month.
It took me until I was in my mid 20s to understand my step dad wasn't the problem, it was actually my mom (both Navy,) and I expect similar to happen with my kids at this point. I got shaded information, which I couldn't interpret properly to understand what was going on, what was reasonable or not, etc.)
The most disturbing factor is that my ex doesn't think it matters that my kids don't care about their father. It's mind bending to think about, as my perception is that kids are number one. And then I found out, they didn't matter as much as getting a check, which I didn't expect.
So OP, you may be getting financially screwed, but as long as you can regularly see kids that live five miles away, you have hope. I don't.
