I don't understand what I should be doing. I guess I should just not mention him and let the kids think whatever then want? I just want what is best for them.

Why not? My husband left me. Clearly, something is so wrong with me (in his eyes), that leaving his children was a better alternative than being around me.

Yes, I hope, but the idea of her hoping and then having the dream crushed kills me. No little girl should have to waste her hopes wishing Daddy would come home.

I thought as co-parents we should care and do something about our children's suffering. I wasn't emailing him for me, I honestly was going to do it for them. I need to help them!!
