Living in MLC Misery Part 2

[KPK]

Thanks so much for the replies. My H is very calm, cool and convinced that he has to go and that "something good will come out of it", and he will find "fundamental happiness." BS. Good to know it's his "fundamental happiness" that counts. I will get through this, but my heart breaks every time I think about telling the kids (if it comes to that- who knows with these psycho MCLers).

Mishka- yes, H has been very involved with the kids, and D6 is daddy's little girl. She and S3 wait for him at the window to come home from work at night, then hide and surprise/ambush him. They're always excited to see him. I'm also aware of the possibility of regression, so we'll see. S3 is potty trained, so that could be his issue, but he also tends to think when things go wrong it's his fault (typical preschool behavior) so I don't want him to think daddy leaving is because he (S3) was a "bad boy". D6 is very sensitive, and I can see hysterics and depression. I know I'm thinking way ahead- just trying to prepare for the worst since I have no idea when H plans on going-yes, it's like waiting for the other shoe to drop. H seems to think he'll see the kids all the time and that it won't make any difference he's not living with them. I disagree. I'm a big hugger and snuggler anyway, so comforting them will be no problem for me. (Right now D6 is making a schedule of who gets to snuggle me when- they're always fighting over me. Currently, on her list, her brother has Mondays and she has Tuesdays.)

Hugs and love, and good luck.
