Today is hard.

This is the first Father's Day my kids will spend without seeing or talking to their dad. My attorney and advocate both said it was not a good idea to have the kids call him. I know if the roles were reversed he wouldn't have them call me. But I feel super shitty.

You don't have to do what they say. Remember, they're making money from your situation so it's in their interest to maintain tension between you and your children's father. Do what's best for your children, you'll feel all the better for it.

@Sharon my husband was emotionally abusive to all of us, the older two want nothing to do with him.

Be guided by what they want. If any do want to call him, let them. No point doing anything to make your children resent you.
