So north or south? I know about the kids, we are the only one that can keep them safe and limit the damage of the situation. My bet could be that when you reconcile with H, he probably didn't deal with his issues back then.
Shame because they have someone who would give them the moon, but at the moment they can't see it! They have their path to follow, so have we.
We can only hope that one day, it'll cross ours again :-)
