Visitation with kids and creating a Q&A update

I had scheduled a video chat session so my EX and I can tell the kids very clearly and without question, what their visitation and living arrangements are. And this was being done with the kids' counselor present to help "keep the peace". When I arrived, the counselor told me she changed her mind for two reasons: 1. There was no rehearsal. The possibility for tension and disagreement was risky in front of the kids. 2. And after meeting with our son (6yrs old) just prior, she was worried he might be too sensitive to any tension. So my EX, the counselor and I spoke for 40 minutes. I suggested we come up with a sort of Q&A script. I create one and she creates one. Then we share and hash out the differences. Course, in my opinion, it's not very complicated that what is told to the kids comes straight from the decree, which is what I plan to write down. But we do need to be on the same page BEFORE talking to our kids. The counselor alos asked what seems to be the current roadblock between us. My EX said communication. I said it was Trust. I don't trust her (for so many reasons) ad she doesn't trust me because ...I don't trust her. Go figure. Anyways, my EX is coming down for Spring Break to stay with her dad to see the kids. All of us see the counselor around March 15. So I need to have my Q&A set and ready to go then. Now, for the Q&A, I don't have much down so far. I have 2: Why can't we live with mommy? (Because mommy and daddy already agreed in the divorce decree papers). Why can't you live in mommy's state(Minn)? (Because I'm happy in Houston with my job and all of our family is here, etc, etc.) Am I missing any possible questions they may ask? Anything else they ask such as "Why mommy moved away or why can't mommy move back down to live near us" is tough because those are answers she will need to answer. (And so far, she has told them "mommy has a job here, I can't leave my job" which is all BS because she lived there for 6 months with no job initially). Plus, she's telling them my job is more important than you! Ugh, sorry. Just pisses me off.:( But I don't want to avoid their questions to me about their mom. I always take the high road, but at the same time don't want to be dishonest (like their mom has been with them) and I end up in the doghouse like mommy will when the kids get older and figure much of this out. How do I answer questions as to why mommy moved away without being dishonest, keeping it appropriate for a 10 & 6 yr old,?
