Talked to my kids some more last night. They both are really pushing for having "combined" session with our C, so they can confront H with "the truth" and let C see H "for who he really is". I try to talk caution them about this approach, but they then say I'm just being a wimp defending him.
I talked to H on the phone again last night and told him they really wanted to meet with him, but that I would take them to the one-hour session Wednesday with the 3 of us (not H) and talk to the C about their feelings.
I am so torn because my kids feelings have value and I understand their position and their right to speak out. I also understand their desire to do it together, because one-on-one, H can be very easily deflect and/or over power their arguments.
I don't know what to do.
I just got off the phone with H. He says he just doesn't feel about me like he used to. He doesn't hate me and doesn't want to hurt me, but he doesn't feel the same and he's tried, but he doesn't want to try anymore. He says he will go to the sessions and face the kids as they want and to let him know. I asked him if he wanted me to file for D, and he said he wanted to meet to talk about it. I told him that to expect a change of feeling in the month since we started spending time together was too much to expect, and that it took some effort on both our parts. So, I tried to reason with him (not good DB'ing). I did all the things I'm not supposed to do. I asked him about the labor day weekend we spent together just 3 months ago (ML 7 times in 3 days). He said that was him trying to feel something.
He means it! OMG, I'm dying!
