I know I haven't been very forward in my thinking because I know I'll get lambasted here for it. I feel I have to tell you exactly what my opinion is now. You are in pain sweetie, your H is causing that pain to continue. Chinese torture? That's mild. They couldn't get to your heart. This is much more exquisite and deep.
IMO....here it is....drumroll.....everybody get ready to hammer at me for it.......FILE. Do it now. Get this done. Your H is nothing more than a co-parent and a barely adequate one at that. I'm sorry, I hate the thought of D but when there is so much continued misery, what is the point in all this?
K, Maria, sweet beautiful woman, you know who you are. You know what you need. Your H was the one to walk away. Honestly, he didn't really ever come back, he just said the words to stop you in your tracks. It worked didn't it? Do what you need to do for yourself. You have made so many strides recently to gain more independence and find your joy. Last step? Disentangle yourself from him now.
