      Husband of 30+ years is in prison for sexual abuse. 10 to life. I don't want the kids to have too much contact with him, yet I don't think it's right for me to keep them totally away from himeiather. I don't want to be the bad guy here. I want the kids to make up their own minds. Plus, he thinks I may 'brainwash' them into thinking he is the bad guy and not to be negitive to anyone else We are divorcing-friendly. No hard feelings.Just need help walking that fine line with the kids.
