I love that you sold the wedding China to pay for your trip! You and the girls will make great memories.
You're right, your h is a bit unusual in the way he completely abandoned the girls. Not unheard of, but unusual at this age. Makes me think either he's addicted (do you suspect drugs or alcohol?), or he feels so guilty that he can't face them, or he's really mentally ill (more so than even the usual MLC madness).
But whatever the reason, one thing it's NOT: it's not about them or you, it's about what's wrong with HIM.
