Ok first of all they go to bed at 8:30 PM and before he was calling at like 8 PM and they were sobbing, and upset and I couldn't get them to go to bed. I have had 5 children in bed with me for weeks. She thought to do baths after they talk to dad they have time to play do a bedtime storey and then read a book and they have other things on their minds.. I thought it worth a try because I really need a schedule to get them out of my bed.
He has been saying I call him 10-15 times a day. I haven't been calling at all. Of course phone records show I call because the kids use my cell phones. With having five kids if they each call him two times that is 10 calls. My 9 year old (also bipolar) calls him 8-10 times a day if I do not hide the phone. He is distraught by all of this.
Basically he is not allowed to tell them he is coming back because last week he told them on Wednesday he was moving back up here he loved mommy and them and he would be here soon. (he was doped up on meds). I heard the phone call because it was on speaker and ask him not to make promises and we concluded the call. On Thursday when my son ask him about it he called my son a liar and said he never said that. That was the same night he slashed his wrist 4 times after telling me he loved me. He is just not stable and is dragging the kids on his emotional roller coaster. He knows I mean that he can not say he is coming back. I guess however I should be clearer next time.

People say "When God closes a door he opens a window." They forget to tell you "It is hell in the hallway!"
