[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to give it your best shot because THAT is what will make the difference when they are grown and out of the house and away from their mother's influence.  Sitting back and not making EVERY effort will not result in anything other than the children remaining alienated.  So keep pressing and trying to find a therapist who will help.

I agree that seeing them in a public setting or with a third party present or one-on-one in a public setting might be better than having to drag them kicking and screaming into a house that they probably have been told is the den of you-know-who.

I think that YOU need to find a good family counselor for YOU and get some guidance on how to interact with your kids.  It will not be pleasant and you will need to know that it isn't about you but about your kids.  You will need some strategies for keeping your cool, not becoming too emotional and lashing out, etc.  You will need some strategies for basic conversation with kids who either will ignore you or blast you.

Keep trying.  Your kids are depending on you whether they realize it or not.[/quote]
