You need to smile and be the person he would want to come back to. Right up to the moment the judge bangs his gavel on the bench.
Great! Now I know how long to try. Then I realized by the time the gavel bangs, I'll be the person I'm meant to be. Even if there's an ending, I've already begun.

You are the stable one and he is unstable. Same as my sitch.
I still have trouble thinking of me as the stable one. What I'd felt in the past (being a failure, ineffective, depressed, always sick and/or injured) is being negated by the present. I've definitely found my compass.. and I realize what others have seen from the outside looking in, that I've been alone for quite a while.
Aggressive actions with my husband scare the poops out of me, but he seems to be more thoughtful since it. How do I balance taking care of me with the legal process versus working on the positive steps during the emotional process?

Oh, and NEVER discuss the marriage with the in-laws! Remember, blood is thicker than water.
They have been very caring since the bomb. I let them be the ones to contact me. They are very intense when it comes to blood relatives. I know this will continue until H gives them the signal to shut down. I keep the focus on the kids.. nothing about my husband or our relationship.
