Amysideas - how are your kids with your h? Mine has behaved very oddly towards the children, with a total want of self knowledge. He genuinely cannot understand why they are so angry with him. He 'woos' them and then metaphorically kicks them in the teeth with a real rejection. Then can't understand that they are VERY cautious about having any dealings with him. He is terrifying in his weirdness - a real breakdown.

But he can put on a good front, and people that don't know him well cannot see the strange behaviour. So they tend to think that we - me and the kids, are being unreasonable, which I find rather hard to bear.
