Sorry it's been so stressful...I can certainly connect with the part about having to do everything while solo...not fun. It's a lot of work!!
Good job for posting / venting some of this stuff here. Hope you get some sleep and this will help a bit. This is such a long haul and a very difficult journey.
I am feeling a little bit better today. Even went to work. H called right before lunch and says how about a date for lunhc.
He came by and picked me up in his new car. I have to admit he was really looking good. Sunglasses on sunroof open, dressed nice. It was like wow.
We went out to lunch and h paid. He also gave me $400 to pay bills and said more next week. I just said thank you h.
We enjoyed a nice lunch together. He seemed to be in fine spirits today.
On my way home from work h called just to check in on me. He said we had a nice lunch. I just said yes h it was nice.
I said I would need help with the kids on wed and thur this week, since s20 has to put in some extra hours at work this week. H just said no problem that he would be there.
I just thanked him for calling and said see you tomorrow. So good day after a lousy one.

You are so right Upside. I think my h's whole identity is tied up in his work. Not sure if this is common for men or just that my h is a bit overboard in this area.
Oh well, I was just thankful he met up with me and then gave me money too!

Sounds like you had a very nice lunch date today. I also like your h's attitude today. He seems like he is wanting to do all he can to help out.
All positives.

Congrats on a nice lunch date. Your H seems to be really making some baby steps. As for being identified with work, I think men tend to do this - another difference between men and women. My H takes his work very seriously too. I have learned to respect that.
