Stop talking and just do it. If you're comfortable, ask the kids to stop letting him know whether or not you'll be at a game. A vague, "Not sure what her plans are" is all he deserves.

Sorry that the house needs more work than you thought. I hope it's still worthwhile for you to move forward with the purchase. Hope, you have so much going in a positive direction, don't let the last time you saw him de-rail you. Our LBS journey is also a process. We're going to have bends in our road to our new selves and lives. You really are doing so well. Keep going forward. xoxoxoxo
