Venting - H thinks I'm withholding the kids. He had left a message for them last night and I told them he called. The oldest S said he'd call him back later (he did not). The 2 younger ones didn't really care. Today H texts asking why they didn't call. I responded and said they received the message and that the oldest was supposed to call.

He said "I guess I thought you might have them call me back. I will not make that assumption again. I know I don't deserve anything from you but please don't use them to hurt me."

I did not respond, but I want to. I'm not withholding them from him. But it's also not my responsibility to force them to call him. He needs to set expectations with his kids, not me.
