I should note that his now (older) girlfriend and his mother have been HUGE influences and helpers in his life and he does not solely care for the children when they're with him, because he never seemed fully capable of doing so.

The first type is the type that expects to be taken care of:Preferring the motherly treatment to be transferred to their partners(friends or otherwise) in every sense of the word i.e. Cook, Clean, Rub my back, Hold me when I cry, Wash my clothes and generally "baby" me.

Then there is the 2nd type of Cancer.

Those that look for a person to care for and be the breadwinner i.e. big money-savers, anxious about the future, men are very macho sometimes even chauvinistic/ women very domineering, caring but defensive, ambitious, troubled relationship with immediate family(because they insist on handling the reigns).

Now this guy sounds more like the 1st. And perhaps even competing with his own children for affection and parental attention?

What Sun/Moon is the ex wife?

He definitely sounds like the first but also a bit of the second. He is a cargo airline pilot and is gone for periods of time every month so maybe he felt entitled when he returned home? It's hard to say. He is very co-dependent on his mother though and always has been. His current girlfriend is a few years older and has grown children of her own so I feel she is probably the more "mature" one of their relationship.

My co-worker is a Gemini Sun/Sag Moon/Cancer Venus/Aries Mars. I think her Sun/Moon combo definitely prompted her to "break free" from the situation.

I think he may have stifled her. That Sag Moon needs to grow in a relationship. And I don't think that much was possible in the one that she was in

Although my dad is a late June born and has some Gemini in his chart.

While my Mom is a Mid July born with some leo aspects, (off topic thats why Leo suns with Venus in Cancer tend to remind me of my mom).

What happens is my mom ends up being the more cardinal of the two and the more dynamic one.

My dad on the other hand would rather watch movies and do nothing from time to time.

But he's no dummy he's aware and knows how to manipulate my mom into accepting his behavior, Gemini moons tend to be manipulative in that way.

My mom is protective of me and sometimes controlling, the concept of "mother knows best" presides greatly with her.

The only problem is sometimes controlling things falls back on you and you don't have the desired outcome.

She pretty much always has the idea that I should work in the public sector because she assumed it was a secured job.

I would always explain to her thats not always true epically when a country is in debt, public sector employees are first to go.

Its even worst for IT and tech professionals because skills are important either you learn new skills or work on projects that have you learning new things, the jobs she wanted me to do never had that.

So for years, it was always that way.

But now she realizes I had better goals and ambitions. I realize that her thinking was I will take care of my kids by making them do a job that I think is secure and best, thats how I show I love them.

Well, she's finally let me peruse what I really want.

Heres what I can say about there relationship.

CONS:
-------
My Dad is used to my Mom taking care of him and he manipulates my mom if he doesn't get his way (Gemini Moon).

My Mom blocks my dad of what he wants because she's the one that runs the finances.

Pros:
----------
Although there codependent on each other they complement each other because they have what the other lacks.

In the bigger scheme of things I think indirectly I keep them together because I'm not exactly pleased with both of them
and they always come together when that happens.

The other thing is my Mom, a typical Cancer who loves and protects her children sees some of the traits I have my dad does, remember he has some Gemini aspects so It works that way to. She looks at me and then looks at her husband.

I'm glad you asked this question margym0o because I never really put much thought into it.

They are leaders of their home, problem solvers, disciplinarians, stern, assertive, consistent, they are good dads. I admire them, they are the sort of man you want to have kids with bc they will be very involved and an equal partner in raising their children.

They can be emotional leading to an explosive temper at times. I feel this happens if they don't feel respected and are not heard and taken seriously.
