cat, praying for you for wisdom in dealing with X. Especially praying for d and s.
Bottom line, he is lost at this point, badly deceived. More than anything, he needs prayer to be poured out upon him day and night. God will deal with him and yes, do so lovingly and then more sternly as needed.
Keep pouring the truth in to your babies by being a living testimony, let your light shine AND He will minister to them. By the world's standards, my X is not a bad mom at all, not one bit.
BUT she bought into the lie, "if you are not happy, find happiness somewhere else, your kids will be alright."
Through MUCH prayer by many faithful people, my kids' faith has not been shattered. They see His faithfulness being manifested in my life. They see the Lord working over and over and over again in and around and through me. I am NOTHING special but I am willing.
It took time to forgive but my kids see the peace I have around X and her husband.
A study we are going through the TruthProgect.org (connected through focus on the family), described those who have bought into the lie as "Prisoners of War." Your X is a P.O.W.!
Stand your ground but pray 10 times more for him than what you nat be needing to say to him and God will act, often before you start to tell your blinded X what you so desperately want to tell him.
In the early days of separation and then divorce, I told my X what I knew she needed to hear and I think nearly every time, it blew up. Gradually, I started to take these issues to God first and He delt with it far better than I ever could. I have a long list if issues, incidents etc of where God moved X's heart to bring about a desired result without my having to say a word to her.
again, I am coming along side you in prayer.
