I'm really sorry to hear this. Usually time is a healer for these things if both sides want to fix things. If it makes sense try to make sure that both sides understand the others POV. There may come a point when you do have to see whether the children and their mum could just come without him.

Oh, its horrible isn't it?

If he doesn't join in etc would it be possible that the children and their Mum could come without him?

Advice please on what others do when there is a serious rift between a family members male partner and most of the rest of the family? Now no one wants to invite him to family gatherings but that will mean the family member and the children won’t come either. It’s his behaviour in the past that has upset everyone over a few years and he’s never tried to join in really.
Christmas, family holidays BBQs etc etc so now plans are in the pipeline for everyone to go abroad together next Summer but it’s already been said that if he’s invited some of the others won’t come and we’re talking brothers sisters and young cousins too.

Oh my it’s giving me a headache already and I’m not organising it.

Advice please
