They understand that he is away for awhile. Fortunately, his family makes sure I still get to see them, but everytime I do, they ask why he's gone and when he'll be back. This makes me think that their mom hasn't really talked to them about it. I understand she is trying to protect them, but I don't want them to think he just left them. I've told them he had to go away for awhile but he misses them very much. He has written them a couple letters and I encourage them to draw pictures that I send to him. I want to talk to them about it so they understand that daddy is not bad, he just made a mistake, but I don't want to do anything that their mother wouldn't approve of (she and I don't talk so I don't really know how/if she's addressed it). Should I just leave it as is and hope the year passes quickly?
