Just try your best. Go for counseling. Get in the best possible place to make good decisions.

"The kids will figure it out."
Be consistent. Live your ideals. Actions speak louder than words.

Read The Four Agreements. Don't make assumptions, don't take things personally, be impeccable with your word, always try your best. I filter my emotions through those agreements. Getting rid of the crap distills the message.

You are their father. Have been. Always will be.
