Great job Sleeper. Personally I think this is most positive thing that has happened in your sitch. The fact that the two of you sat down together with a C is a very positive start - even if you just agree to disagree. It's a beginning hopefully to a better co-parenting arrangement.
When you meet with your kids DO NOT bad mouth your ex. Assure them that you both love them and want the very best for them and are working hard at making that happen. Talk with the C if necessary before you even have the session with the kids to see what advice they can give you about how to approach everything with them. Best of luck.
