My best friend’s wife dropped their youngest child off at school one day and never came back. Ten years have passed, and the only contact has been through lawyers. She refuses to speak to him or the kids directly.
He says the hardest part wasn’t raising the kids alone — it was constantly having to explain to people why he was doing it alone. Even his own family questioned what he might have done to “make her leave.” © NotEvil_JustBritish / Reddit

Whenever I attend parent-teacher meetings with my ex-wife, the teachers almost always direct their comments and questions to her. It feels unintentionally disrespectful — like I’m invisible. © Unknown author / Reddit
