Hope you and your kids had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I think it is different for all MLCers. The 5 year mark may be a good average but some get through sooner and some longer and some may never make it through. I hope for your children's sake that there is some shift in your H very soon. It has to be hard for them. Keep being the strong, wonderful mother that your children need...and keep appreciating all of your blessings and try not to dwell on where your XH is in all of this...he will come around when he is ready...hopefully that will be sooner than later.
