Maybell, What if your kids called their dad instead? That way, you wouldn't have to prompt him at all. I know it would be better if he reached out to them to show them that he is thinking of them, but he is not thinking clearly now, and I worry that he may react negatively (due to guilt) to a request coming from you.
I really have a hard time understanding and respecting those WAS who cut off their children emotionally. It is so incredibly cruel.
As for the rest, you know you are awesome! And yes, you deserve to have someone who loves you for you, and with whom you can combine awesomeness. But know also that you are awesome on your own, and you don't need another person to complete you (even though I long for that as well). Be strong! Hugs.
