Who is this man? He's a pod person right now, the exact opposite of the man you know and love. He doesn't give a fig about anything right now except having fun and doing things for himself. No, he doesn't want to be responsible for his kids for an entire week. He wants to be in the "me" mode and has other things to do...that he wants to do.
Don't buy or drink his koolaid...it's the type that will bring you down and you do not want to own his issues.
Keep moving forward and give the girls hugs and more hugs. They are the diamonds in your tiara!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
