I'll be out of town for the next 3 days - DARK the whole time and just call D's cell to talk to kids? She will be here so, initially this was her weekend to move out.
You can call her and ask for the kids. OK to make small-talk (weather, current events, etc.), like you would with the mailman. You don't want to appear pissy, petulant or passive-aggressive. BUT NO "R" TALK, and no husbandly rescuing/caring.
IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO MAKE HER FEEL BETTER RIGHT NOW ABOUT HER POOR DECISIONS (and okay to even use that as a "truth dart" with her if it's in context).
