Had a counseling session with my kids yesterday. They're totally poisoned. DD doesn't want to live with me at all. DS says he doesn't "have time" to spend with me, school and sports have consumed his time. Of the two it's obvious he isn't happy I married. I'm probably seen as the one who upset the status quo in his eyes.

Both blame me for their mother's arrest. Doesn't matter that she was breaking the law, if I hadn't called the police she wouldn't have been arrested is the way they see it.

Any attempt to exercise my custody rights is seen by them as pressuring them (they both say it's their "business and decision") by them as pressuring them to do something they don't want to do.

"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
