To "bail" infers that someone has escaped, jumped ship, whether they come aboard again or not is irrelevant.

Him visiting the kids is not a way to escape Chris, but it does give Chris room to breath and just be whatever she needs to be in that moment.

That's very different from bailing.

Not detracting from the topic, Just stating the above in case you are unaware, so you can avoid the same type of verbal blunder in future.
