You did quite well with your son and your H followed his lead. Very nice. Don't assume that your H took that message and applied it to situations where you go out of your way to help him and how he does or doesn't respond to you afterward. If you feel that he isn't responding the way you need him to you will have to revisit this. If he continues to neglect thanking you, you will begin to hold onto a resentment. There is no room in a relationship for festering resentment.
Even in piecing you have to take care of yourself first and others second. If you are a mess emotionally you will not be in prime condition to take care of the others.
You are doing so great. I am thinking good thoughts and sending prayers for the continued restoration of your family.

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. {Henry Wadsworth Longfellow}
