HB, this may be just a small thing, but why are YOU telling the kids that daddy is staying in the apt longer, and not him? (or at least both together?) i am not sure if it makes a difference in your sitch. In mine, I felt it was important that my h was taking responsibility on his action (of leaving), so I told him he had to do the talking and explanation. Again, not sure if this apply for your sitch.
