Hello Cas

Thanks for your insight.

Like you I try to be peace maker but then H sabotages any plans and we are back to square one.

Over his birthday D21 and S13 tried to speak to him. He never answered his phone but left one line texts eventually in reply. I now know he was abroad with OW but I haven't told the children as they would be very upset.

He has also changed the christmas arrangements 4 times. He has gone from spending all day here to popping in on the 23rd or 24th Dec. I know this is because he is at the beck and call of OW but the kids feel let down. This is what breaks my heart.

I'll never completly understand why the men in MLC are so hard on their children.
