I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling stronger today. I'm sure last night was rough, but you made it through.
I know it must be hard to see H in the condition he was in this morning after a long night away from his family, but hopefully he took some time to think about what he has done/is doing.
Just a word of caution: Please don't let him weasel his way back into the house. Not this soon. His issues (the drinking, violent tendencies, etc) need to be addressed. You've got to show him, not just tell him, that you will not subject yourself to something like this again.
If he cries, as hard as it will be, you've got to look past the tears and ignore the words. They mean nothing. If he wants your trust again, he has to work for it, and it will not happen overnight.
(((Take care of yourself and D.)))
