Your right H is in complete denial about why he has left and continues to blame me and the marriage.
I truly believe that the children and I are more intune with each other. As parents we have had to support our children with their dyslexia which has been time consuming but now they are settled and growing up and doing well in school.
When the kids get angry about H I explain that he is in a place where he needs to learn to live and not to be too hard on him at the moment. I'm hoping time will heal their sorrow. He was very much a 24/7 hands on dad and now see's them for about an hour per week which is difficult for them.
On a more positive note they are growing stronger, as am I, day by day.
