Does Not Show For Visitations 2

I feel one's own children should always come first and I always put them first and spend and cherish every moment I have with them. They grow up too quick as it is. My ex's girlfriend has put a wedge between her own children and their father and has her 17 year old calling and telling others that my ex is his step dad (which he is not) and speaks poorly of his own father. I can't figure this out. His 12 year old son tonight pleaded and begged please dad spend some time with me please just one day. His response was ''I don't know if we can''. As my son walked away to get his shoes with his head down. I softly said to my ex you can if you really want to. The children seem to be a burden to him and in the way. The 17 year old comes back angry and has asked his dad to spend some time with him. After all soon he will be going away to college. Oldest is 20 away in college and also asked her dad the same thing. When he took her back to college from coming home to my home all he did was complain to me how he had to drive her here and there and did not have time with his girlfriend (he lives with her 2 years now and her 2 boys ages 21 and 17) But it never happens. His time is getting less and less :-( what do you do or say?

You cannot force the father or any parent to see their child or children. If you believe that the actions are harmful, file a modification reducing or ending visits.
