If you don't mind, I would like to add what my H has said.

Missing me: He said most definitely. He thinks about me everyday, all the time and same about the kids.

It is easier for them to leave when you are in another room or not really visible because it is very emotional for them and yes, my H said so many times he wanted to stay but could not.

Hope this helps, even if a little.
