Hi guys, Thanks so much for your support.

We are all going OK here - although there seems to be some physical consequences of the drama of the Court appearance/ reappearance of stbx to collect the kids from school.
He did this once - the day after the court fiasco - and then disappeared again (i.e. no texts/calls to them).

I have been really, really tired (but hitting all my deadlines at work) and D17 has been angry and aggressive. S14 has been vomiting intermittently.

Great learning opportunity for me - not to react to the kids or get overly anxious, but just accept things for what they are and try for serenity and understanding.

Hope you are all doing OK, too.
