I have a question: If you don't keep him involved in the children's lives (e.g. a brief phone call once a week), isn't that going to push him further towards the OW, and have him involved in HER young son's life? That's my concern. Our S is 9 and our D is 13. The OW's son is 2 or 3 and my H has started picking up her son from daycare because the police dept. finally separated my H and the OW. (He is a police officer, she works dispatch.) He already replaced me with her; I am afraid he is replacing our son w/ her son.
