I do tell him the kids need him _ I guess that is guilt? I shouldn't do that.

[Breton] Yes--too motherly!

So I should just not say anything about the kids at all- what if he calls late on a Sunday to get them should I let him?

[Breton] Sure--IF it is convenient for you. Then, once you're feeling really back on your feet, use that time to do something for YOU. you will feel great.

I guess right now I need to take away any reason for him to be angry at me
[Breton] He's angry? Sounds like a problem! At least that's the attitude I've adopted. I had to calm down and I am still a little mean sometimes, but hey.

so I should just let him get the kids at anytime- my words notyours- Take away anything he can fight with me about.
[Breton] Again, if it is convenient for you. And let him know that! "Thanks for getting the kids--it's convenient for me now. Also tell him that they had fun, couldn't stop talking about it, whatever. Just don't lay it on too thick.
