They stayed at his place both days, watching movies, snacking, throwing a football...stuff like that. I'm happy he didn't take them to 'fun land', out to dinner etc. They had a pretty good time.
H brought them back here during half time of the charger-steeler game and after a little uneasiness, H made himself comfortable with a beer and watched the rest of the game.
I must have been funny, cause he had a few laughs over my confusion over some NFL stuff.
Later...s10 tells me this: s10: dad we can throw footballs at our house...there are a lot of trees there too, why won't you move back?
H: it's not that easy
S10: just stop paying for this house and move back
H: well, I found a nice house in <subdivision>, it has two stories, woods, and a basement...AND two bathrooms.
s10 started to cry
H: I'd be closer to you guys if I moved out there.
(((this is interesting...this cheaper house....is better than where he his but is much further from his work. It is only 5 minutes from here though))
H: I'm not comfortable living at your house, I feel like I can't be myself.
s10 just kept crying...then H started crying and they hugged for about 5 minutes.
H: I'll always be near you guys. My moving out had nothing to do with you guys. The decision is between your mom and me.
Okay...it's true the move had nothing to do with the kids...but, it was NOT a decision between him and me!!! I am SICK of being an accessory to his crime!!!
The kids know this.
