[quote=Anonymous]OP here- pp, sounds like you’re projecting something personal on my situation that isn’t relevant here. I am a very involved parent and have been from the moment they came into this world. 
Thanks for the advice to the poster who mentioned “parental alienation”. I hadn’t heard that term before but it is something that has occurred and I imagine happens in many cases of divorce (by fathers and mothers). While I agree that it is a form of abuse on the children that can have long-term repercussions, I think subjecting them to a series of questions by a psychologist would only exacerbate things.

My kids are healthy, happy, and we have a strong relationship. But my ex does have these manipulative tendencies and I don’t want it to fester inside my kids and put additional stress on them. The answer may be in just calling an end to the FaceTime thing. I hate that she would try to sabotage my relationship with them and not consider their long term emotional well being, but I know in time it will reflect more on her and they can self-advocate when she tries it.
