I will Survive.

Shelby, I still wonder about stuff like that 18 months after I moved out. In August, she tells the girls she can't take them here or get things for them because of money then she spends a week in South Dakota with her new biker buddies.

I'm doing better just focusing on myself, my own finances. Is there any way you can work out kid exchanges so you don't have to see him? That's helped me.

I've gotten 2-by-4s for this, but I've told my daughters I don't want to know anything about her life as a single person. It's a struggle. They started telling me about her trip and I clumsily cut them off. Perhaps there's a gentler way you can tell them that you two have separate lives now and some things should just remain between them.
