Wow, MK. Are you ok? How are you holding up? Your sitch is moving very quickly. So much info is coming out of the woodwork. I think it is understandable that a lot of the original emotions are resurfacing. It is part of the process, I think. DR even says that when the WAS starts to turn around, the LBS struggles with all the emotions they have been controlling in order to DB.
Be gentle and understanding with yourself. That experience must have been horrifying for your H and probably made him realize how fragile life is. Too bad he chose to go the way he did instead of realizing how precious life is and embracing how wonderful his was. Instead he chose to abuse and neglect it. Perhaps he has learned his lesson. Perhas now that he has this job, he feels more confident and will feel more worthy to stand beside you as a partner. Maybe he felt like such a loser that he had to hang out with losers for a while.
My point: His A and choices are still about him, not you. It's up to you whether you want to be forgiving and allow him to come out of this mistake and back to the family I'm sure he loves.
