A, sorry for what you are going through, court really brings home just how "real" this is. I wish you the best!

I think they're old enough to be told the truth. They are going to find out anyway.

D18 started crying and told me she thinks her mom won’t talk to her again. Says she texted her yesterday to please not do this. Not sure if she didn’t respond to her or what, I just listened and told her everything will be ok.
Work on your validation. "I am sorry you are upset, would you like to talk about it? How does it make you feel?"

At the end there was a video encouraging reconciliation ... recommending something called “discernment therapy/session”. But I think it’s too late.
I agree, I'm not saying there's no chance for recon, but not right now. The timing isn't right for your W.
