HaWho, I'm sorry it came to that, but it sounds like it went as well as it could. My H said the same thing about showing them an affectionate relationship (with OW1 at the time). He has still not mentioned OW2, but then again he doesn't really talk to them or see them.

I think it will get better from here. It did for me. My kids tried a few times to discuss their feelings. H is completely incapable of hearing any of that and literally runs from them.

One strong parent. One person they can trust. It is enough. You will teach them how to be decent, kind men. He is unable to do that.
