How the heck can we ever come back from this? Why would I want to salvage something when someone sees fit to stomp all over my heart and thinks nothing of traumatizing and confusing the kids with his actions!!!
You can come back from this. It is possible, but not if you are an unforgiving sort, it is possible if he seeks it out and you don't lord his mistakes over his head. It is possible if you both work together toward it. Right now isn't that time.
Diamond, do you believe your H is having an MLC? Is he screwed up in the head? Was he always this way; selfish and angry?
If he is having an MLC, then your heart is the least of his concerns.
As for traumatizing the kids... you make it sound like there going to end up like Alex from a Clock Work Orange, and that is not the case.
You are projecting your anger and using the kids as the outlet. You are traumatized and you are confused. They are as well, but by God, because of that now you are even more so.
Diamond, you are really new here. You need to stop the assumptions in your head, and for the record, if I had a crystal ball, and knew what was going on, I wouldn't tell you.
This hard f-ing road is for you to walk, to be a better person.
