Good points, but any suggestions on how to pave the way? I did feel that when H moved out I was the one trying to keep the girls and H together/communicating/seeing each other. The way H remembers it is that I prevented him from seeing the girls(all b/c of my one-time statement that I didn't think it was practical to have the girls spend part of the week with him and part with me during school). If this topic ever comes up, H still seems resentful...even though I later explained my position. and it was a reasonable position.

I feel like I should stay out of the middle ground. If H and the girls are in a room(kitchen) talking, I usually stay away so they can. I try to let them all have their time together. It hurts H though when he's home with one or both and they shut themselves in their room(not sure if its him, or the teen-thing)...H takes it very personally though.


So ...the girls and H are aware of the awkwardness between them and part of that awkwardness is the girls hate it when H blows up (and he's still somewhat unpredictable there)..

I'd love to hear what other DBers have had work successfully on this front.
