Laughing,
I don't like the sound of what he's doing. You have every reason to be on the alert.
Your xh is trying to win the kids over and get them to accept the trash he's married. He's doing exactly what I suspected he would attempt to try to do. He's trying to make a case of being a good "dad". Give him enough rope and he'll hang himself. He does it every time.
Laughing, sit quietly and patiently. More will be revealed to you. In the mean time, focus on the new year and on you and your children. Enjoy the rest of the holidays and let him flounder around for he's the one that lost it all.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
