I told them Dad was going through some adult stuff and needed to be gone for a bit. He plans to tell them he had to go because he can't get along with me.
Fair enough. Just make sure that they understand that this is his choice to leave, not yours or "ours". That you are willing to work things out, but that he needs to want that as well.
