Red, I read the book and I have been GAL but with H in the dark there is nothing I could do as far as the book goes. Can't act as if there is nothing there. H doesn't contact at all or see the kids.
And I don't get how I'm bringing/allowing the kids into this too much. They love their father and want to see him. And I don't lie to the kids about H. Just tell them that he is sick right now and can't think right now how we think.
