CW, how about doing something like act "as if" he is going through a phase and it's temporary...just brainstorming here, but maybe invite him over for dinner with the kids and then play a game after? And mention something that needs fixing, etc?
I don't know if it could be something like the kids could make the meal and invite dad...
I hope this idea doesn't totally suck! It's just a 180 of NC. different tunnel?
