last resort technique

Billy,
From a mom perspective I see the toll it takes on my kids every day. Having a father that is not there when he used to be causes a huge shift in their confidence and security. The whole situation obviously does this as well. I think it is very very important that you spend time with those kids every chance you get. I think you can use the LRT effectively even though you see her every day. I am in a similar situation where I see my H every day but that doesnt mean we have to interact a ton with her. Keep it just related to the kids and that is it.. Anything else is out of bounds..
Seeing your W will always stir up those emotions but the most imporant thing is to not let her see. You have to learn to be happy with the kids and you and also GAL. All of this hurts but it will get less painful and easier if you focus on you and the kids.
Remember the kids know what is going on no matter what you tell them. They feel the tension and the upset however they may feel like it is them causing that, and you dont want that.

Good luck! One breath at a time..
