I'm so behind, and am so sorry that you had such an awful day helping H get his stuff together. At the same time, I want to add my Amen to those who said it only ends like this if you want it to. He hasn't filed, doesn't sound like he is going to, and as somebody else said, maybe this is what he must experience to move to a new, better phase. Hang in there if you want to, and focus on your new job and your very own home.
Still, I know how awful it must have felt, and the whole idea of 20+ years ending so ridiculously just hits too close to home for me. Hugs, AH
