Jo,
How are you??? I think pretty much everything Andy says is BS and personally, I don't think it's a good idea to see him for a drink. Wanting him to apologize in person is game playing IMOP and why bother. I doubt he's sincerely sorry and actions speak louder than words anyway. If he's sincerely sorry and respects you, then tell him to put his money where his mouth is and allow a fairer visitation with your girls.

He's angry because you're taking charge of your life and leaving him out. Good for you!!!! He no longer has power over you and is rebelling. Again, good for you!!! He's acting like a two year old having a tantrum.

You're smarter than him, more loving to DDs than him, more talented than him and more ambitious than him. Exactly, why do you want him????

I'm sorry, but I just feel strongly that not only do you deserve better than what he has to offer but that once you get out from under his "controlling" thumb, you will find someone worthy of you.
