Life is strange, isn't it, ACJ? Just when you are feeling down, a little ray of sunshine shines your way from the most unexpected place. Your H is an @ss right now --- clearly, only thinking of himself, and not realising that you are the mother of his children, and will be forever more. So, no matter what, you have to be taken into consideration. He cannot change that history even if he wishes he could and seems to be trying very hard to do so. OW cannot change that either, and being mean, demanding, trying to steal your children will not change that either. But, your kids are not stupid, the meaner they are to you, and the more you take it calmly, the more they will see him and OW for what they truly are --- selfish, narcissistic, fools. He is not a nice person with OW around. He surely does need to change, but he won't while she is an influence in his life. Sounds like she is just out for what she can get, and if it means mucking around with your children, then so be it, but she doesn't realise that they have brains and know what's what.
Hope the rest of the weekend goes well. Thinking of you!
