Hi kiki- Even though I do see glimmers of my old H from time to time, I too can relate to how you feel. It is like accepting the death of your spouse. You love and miss them but (at least for now) they are gone...but what makes it even more painful is that they still among the living.

My H told me we can't talk until all this is over. He can't put any emotion inthis.
This is so typical of someone in MLC but so bizzare to someone who thinks rationally. As you probably already know, this as just another way for your H to continue to avoid dealing with the issues. I see this with my H where he thinks when he finally reaches some "goal", then he will have more answers...but the answers don't always come. I have such trouble understanding why they have such fear of looking within themselves for the answers they are looking for.
I admire your strength and your ability to accept things for what they are. From all of the things you have said here, I believe you are fairly well healed and ready to enjoy all the happiness that comes your way.
