C2tE, thanks for your insite. I will look into it.

MAJOR UPDATE:

Well, H told the kids tonight that he had another place to live and that they could stay there some nights also. They said "oh, ok." That was pretty much it. Uneventful like I had hoped. We asked them if they had any questions and they said no.

We will show them H's apt. tomorrow nt. and see if the kids want to stay over.

I feel fine. Relieved that that is over with but disappointed that after 2 yrs. this is what happens.

How can I have any respect for a man that does this to his family? I don't think I will have any problem detatching now.

The reality that H wants the kids but NOT me is a hard pill to swallow. I know I have a lot of great qualities but it is definately a blow to my self esteem knowing H does not WANT me.
