Yesterday D21 had a conversation with her dad which she said upset him. She told him that the children didn't like OW and he had made a big mistake leaving them for her. H said the seperation from the marriage and affair was inevitiable. H also told D that OW had lost her father very recently and D was less than sympathetic to this, which shocked H.

D21 said he must have been thinking about the converation because he text 3 pages at 1.30am this morning. He has never contacted anyone at that time in the morning since he went to live with OW. OW monitors all contact i.e H never rings or text the children in an evening or at weekends.

Why does H act as if everything is going well and he is happy etc with the children but with me he lets his mask slip at times and I see major depression and hopelessness?
