I gave up...filed for D

Sorry about your day, Luv. Really.

I see their frustration as he makes passive aggressive remarks to them and I know it hurts them dearly. They don't want to see him and I forced them to go see him this last time. Maybe I won't be forcing them again.

I agree. They're too old to be forced and old enough to have their decisions respected and validated. A son or daughter can only be "drawn to" a parent through love. It comes from within and cannot be forced from without.
But you already know that.

I don't wish this crap on my worst enemy.

Amen.
Hang in there, Luv.
