You really did get a good vacation. You forgot that H is the evil twin and not the former H and father you used to know!
I keep getting the image from the Wizard of Oz of the lion or the tin man throwing water on the witch and making her melt. The evil twin throws "I don't love you" or "I will have another woman in my life" at you, hoping you will just melt away.
You need to be strong, and not melt away. OK, so now you know...he's not there to be supportive of you. And he's not there to be supportive of the children.
You know what? You can do it without him. You are strong and you will take care of your kids. You will dry D's tears and comfort her, and explain that life is not fair. He didn't just leave you, he left the family. And the kids are going to have their hearts broken, no matter what he thinks.
It's up to you to pick up the pieces and put this puzzle back together again. Without him in it. You have to be strong. You can do it.
