Hi Vapo,

Thank you for your feedback.

I am honestly not trying to manage my kids relationship with their dad, I was just wondering if I should ask them not to talk to him about what is going on with us. Not sure if that will make my H want to pull away more? I just don't want him to think I am using the kids to get him to talk to me.

You are absolutely right, their relationship is none of my business and I am a fixer, so I have been super conscientious not to ask them about conversations they may have had with their dad. I also tell them it's very important to keep in contact with him. Maybe I shouldn't even be doing that? This is new territory for me and seems I'm not navigating it very well.
