I hope you don't take any of your friends advice negatively. We really just want you to be with your girls on "your" terms rather than the unfair terms that your XH imposes on you. I wonder if you would want him back if "you" had custody of all of the girls. Do you want him back because you truly love him or because he's holding your girls hostage? Maybe holding them hostage is the only way he thinks he can keep you in his life. Just some thoughts....
