Bunny, it is so good to hear from you and how well you're settling in. Great that your son stayed over. And your DD: give her time. She'll be back.

I am convinced that H is blowing some serious disingenuous smoke. He will display every change he knows you'd like to see and put an end to this living apart crap and convince you he's changing big time in order to get you right back to where he thinks you belong: under is thumb.

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."
