IB, my Ds are grown and live elsewhere, so you may not be comfortable with my POV. You will need to do what feels right to you.

I took the position that if H no longer wanted to be with me, we were no longer a family, and, except for significant life events, would not be together as one. My H sees my Ds by himself, partly because of how I feel about this, and partly because I think he has to be responsible for his relationship with his Ds on his own. It is one of the consequences of his decisions. When H invites me to participate, as much as I might like to accept under other circumstances, I don't now. I just say that I don't want to interfere in their R.

You did a great job buying some time to consider your response! I'm sure the answer will come to you.
