It has been a year and a half since I last had my children with me. Why is it so?
My wife, now my ex-wife, has made it impossible for them to come and visit me. She won’t agree to it, and she won’t even give me a reason why the children cannot come and see their father during the holidays.

They are currently on their long holidays, and I so much want to have them with me under my roof. I have asked her, and she said no. I tried to probe further, but I didn’t get any answers. I have been suffering this dilemma for close to two years now.
Is it a crime? Is it a crime that I want to have time with my children?
I want the grace of seeing them wake up from sleep, and even go to sleep. They usually are chatty when you are trying to put them to bed. I want the grace to prepare their breakfast, take them out for lunch, and cook supper together. Even go to the park with them for some time.
I do not understand why she will not let them come to me, their father.
My theory is that she herself sees the magnitude of the love I have for them and probably thinks I will not return them if she lets them come to me. Besides that, I do not know any other reason why she will not let the kids come and spend time with their father.
But even then, I always send their money every month, on the clock. I do not defer on my child support.
Is There A Man Out There Who Doesn’t Cheat?
I want to be a present father, not just a man who sends money to his kids every month. No, I do not want to be that kind of father. I want to be there for them. I want to spend time with them and be part of their lives.
So what can I do? What other means can I explore?
I really miss my chipmunks.
