Thanks T. I know he isn't really mad at me at all. I know the tension & frustration in his voice on the subject of the kids/his (non)return home, etc, comes directly from his own guilt and ambivalence. As he has said many times, "If I knew I was making the right decision I would have filed by now"...
So he can sit and stew in it all he wants, I just hate it when the kids get pulled in. And maybe they know better, maybe there will be a reconciliation down the road, but right now he is not at home so certain privileges he has held no longer apply. Like keeping all his things here and having full access to my house. I am sure he doesn't plan on me having a key to his house and dropping by whenever I feel like it...
