I'd like to share my experience as a sponsor.
My life is based on step 1, that I am powerless over alcohol (and people), and that my life has become unmanageable.
I can carry the message. I can't carry the alcoholic.
I lead by example. That doesn't mean others will follow.
I carry no illusions that I have power over anyone else, including my sponsees.
I understand your concerns for your children. You have every right to be concerned.
If the sponsor has agreed, then talk to him. If he's worth his weight in gold, anything said between him and your EX stays between the two of them.
Sending you hugs of support.
