(((Luv))) It's good to hear from you. I'm glad you've had small pockets of (relative) peace. They will increase with time, but it would be nice if that increase happened faster.
I REALLY hope that he can put aside his feelings about the M more to think clearly about the kids and what they need. How is your D doing- did you take her to see an IC?
Sending you peaceful wishes--
