Just curious...Any Dads out there have any kids with an ex-spouse who is using your children against you? Do you try to visit your children and find it difficult and contentious when even your own blood looks up at you and says "Daddy, I don't want to go with you today?" When one ex bashes the other one in front of the child(ren) or uses them to manipulate the other ex, this is called Parental Alienation (PA). Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is the affect that this behavior may have on any children involved. According to the material I've read on this topic, the custodial parent is by far and away the greatest perpetrator of this child abuse. Although fathers are sometimes guilty of this form of abuse, mothers form the greater majority.
I write this because it sucks when things happen to you but you can't quite explain them. You know, when something stinks but you can't quite discern the smell. For all of you men (or women) who have been on the receiving end of this abuse: look it up. Do a google search or two on "parental alienation (syndrome)." There is hope, and it's also nice to know there's a name for all the injustice being done to you and your children.
