My advice on detaching is to let your pain guide you. Are these innocuous communications emotionally upsetting to you?
In dealing with him the goal is to take the chaos of emotion out of it for you and your children. Not get caught up in his craziness.
No reason to be mean or spiteful. If you find you can't talk with out being angry then don't talk. Be firm but courteous.
The best advice I have about children is
It is not your job to repair their relationship with their father.
Your job is not to damage it.
To me that would also inlcude damage control as much as you are able from your side.
I would be interested what others have to say but I might lay down the law with the girls about contact OW.
It is hard enough for the LBS to process the feelings of anger etc. let alone having young girls thrown into the mix.
Just my opinion.
Sorry you are here. Welcome to the best worst place to be as we say here.
My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
