I keep wanting this problem to just go away, and letting her move back would be the easiest way to do that -- but I know that wouldn't last, and that it wouldn't be right for me or the kids. But I hate hearing her like that, and I hate having to be the bad guy who is forcing all this to happen. This sucks.
As an ACOA, if I were writing a letter to you (as my DAD) from me (as one of your children), I'd say, "You're the GOOD guy--thanks, Dad. Thanks for sparing us of the impossible roller coaster. Thanks for insisting on a semblance of normalcy. Thanks for being a rock. I love you, Dad"
Yep, that's what I'd write, if I were one of your kids.
