I was not going to be a part of it because STBXW is the one who wants it and she filed. I think I can answer questions later.
Man, I'd be there. Let her talk to the kids with you there, and then you talk to the kids with her there. Don't lie to them to appease her, and don't let them think you want this if you don't! Even if it makes her mad. Tell them the truth...don't let them think you want this if you don't!
That's what I did. I'd do it the same way again too. She got pissed when I told the kids that I did not want this. So be it. I was gonna be honest with them. It was awful...it could have been worse though...we could have slpit them from crotch to eyeball with a dull deer antler!
