Spoke to L today, per advice I just stick to my guns and let H be. There is nothing I can do to stop him from taking Ds with him once he leaves for as long as he wants other than proceeding with S custody paper work which will bring us a step closer to D.
She recommended I get a restraining order on him if he continues to threaten or intimidate.
This is H of 10 years and father of my 2 lil babies, I do not want it escalated to a condition which not only ruins any chance of R but worse will have my kids suffer in the long run. They need a father and he is a good father, an impatient one right now and not a great one nevertheless a good father. Cant help feeling this is just a lose-lose for the kids and for us in every which way. Praying hard so I somehow get thru this stronger, better and my kids survive it without any permanent damage.
