Sounds like you are really taking steps you need to and thinking about things you need to in order to move forward, even though this is not at all what you wanted. That's good.

I'm pretty sure H is NOT having any difficult conversations with the girls. He acts as thought things are fine between them, and when their anger is very obvious, he gets mad in response.
Isn't that the whole crux of the MLC - running from the problem and not facing it? It is way easier for your H to stick his head in the sand and try to ignore the fact that the girls are in so much pain and so angry than to work through it with them, because I am sure he knows deep down he won't like what he hears. I know you will continue to help the girls any way you can to work through it, and hopefully in time he will be open to talking it through with them as well.
