Why are you interested in this group?

I was sorry I missed last night's meeting. Our oldest daughter, 20 years old , came home from college a day early. Last night had to share w / she and her 11 yr old brother we are getting divorced. It was a tough night as I also had to share with my older daughter her dad had come out and has been gay for last 2 yrs. I I guessed it and counseling confirmed this was not something I could "fix" and we were both unhappy. Now helping our 4 kids ages 23 - 11 with a Dad that is angry and resentful and wants to start a new life and his anger and lack of responsibility with kids is a 180 degree turn of the father he was. I need to deal with his changed personality with our kids as they look to me as the rock and communicator on dealing with not only divorce - but their dad is gay and I can't "fix it." I want my husband to be involved with their life and he wants to ignore the issue and be gone. How do I balance my anger at his being cold and ignoring our kids as this is 180 degree for him .
