Lori,
Sorry I haven't been keeping up with your thread. My H has been around so much that it makes it difficult to get on here. I understand wanting to do things as a family. Something my H stated to me and my T is that he wasn't comfortable doing things as a family. He felt it was me and the kids and then him. H also felt that doing things as a family would give me false hope and make me think everything was ok. Your H is probably having some of the same feelings. I know your kids are confused, but doing things as a family may add to the confusion. Give him space now, it might not be forever. Forcing him to do things as a family now will drive him further away. I know it sucks...but that's how it is.

BTW...I spent some years living in LA long ago. I could use some of the warm temps now. I would also love to be down there in another month or so when it is mudbug time! \:D
