You're in a very tough spot. It must be so hard.

I feel the open door policy lets him have everything he wants (see the boys)and flaunt it at me across the street. Having boundaries will help me heal, and give the boys time to just "be", and settle into a new routine

Your boys need to have their Dad in their life, no matter how you feel about him. Separate your R with H from their R with their D, don't use them to get back at H. He's not flaunting his new R, he's just not very bright right now. crazy

Maybe a schedule will work best for you, sit down with H and work it out.

No longer be in charge of his R with his sons. Move out of that role completely unless he asks specific questions. He's an adult male, he can figure it out. But remember if it's not the R you would like them to have, that's OK. Don't try to fix it. The more you try to control their R, the more you H might believe that it's all your fault that he can't have a R with his sons.

Stay out of it.

And I do wish you luck. ((( )))

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
