Boundary? I'm not sure.

Last night I tried avoiding all contact with Kevin. Since he either has the kids sleeping in his bed, or he is in their beds, I avoided bedtime. Today the girls were mad at me for not praying with them and tucking them in. So I promised I would come kiss them goodnight tonight. I went upstairs and even though it is almost 10:00 at night, and Camille has school tomorrow, they were up. So I couldn't help myself from saying it was past bedtime. I have to let Kevin parent. I hugged and kissed the girls, and said goodnight. They were playing Monopoly, so I told them I would pray for them. Then Kevin said, "Goodnight Mommy, we love you."

I was telling the kids goodnight. Not him. And he doesn't get to love me. Sorry, but he doesn't. And that is confusing to the kids too. So should I have not told them goodnight? Or do I just chalk this up to more confusing moments that will resolve themselves when we separate. That sounds easy... But I'm not getting my hopes up about court... I could very well sit there all day and not get a hearing. Hmm... I think maybe this is more pre-court anxiety disguising itself as a boundary issue. Or is it a boundary issue?
