I had my X arrested today

[sleeper]

Okay, so here's the latest....

I got a text response from both kids late Thanksgiving EVE in the form of an offer from them to have breakfast with me Thanksgiving Day. This was the now common, dysfunctional, response from X by proxy to my direct email to X referencing the fact I have always had them Thanksgiving Day/last half of their week off from school and inquiring if she was planning on continuing that tradition. Fact is the text "answer" from kids was so late I was asleep as we have driven out of town for years to my wife's parent's home.

I responded to kid's text when I awake that we're leaving, can't have breakfast with them and i'll call them when I return.

I did call them today and invite them to a one time showing of a holiday classic movie, "Holiday Inn", at a local theater. We took W's kids and mine to a similar event, "It's a Wonderful Life", last year, my Christmas gift to everyone.

DS calls me this afternoon, asks if it's "OK" to have a three-way call with DD. A little surprised, I say, "sure". He continues to tell me he's not comfortable going to a movie with me and my W, but will go if it's only me and his sister. DD chimes in she agrees with him. I ask "Why?" and they both say it's because of the way my W has treated them. Mind you, DS has said nothing negative about W before this conversation although DD has. DS even came to W's house a few weeks ago and W made props for his school costume and assisted DS and I in making his Halloween Costume.

I respond I cannot comply with their request.

I don't know what to do. X has control of the kids and is mentally manipulating and emotionally abusing them.

Before someone says, "Get a L and take X to court", I have a L and I went to court this week and the end result was not even what the L said would happen.
