Hello Molly. I'm so sorry you have found yourself here, but you will find immense support from everyone.
I have a few questions and comments for you.
1)Give us a little background on what you mean when you say "I've been neglectful, distant, and downright mean." Examples.
2)

He still wants to have sex and we have. I'm not sure if this should be happening, but it is. Any feedback on that would be helpful.
This is a totally personal subject. The real question is, how do you feel afterward? Do you feel hurt and rejected when he returns to his own room? If so, then it probably needs to top. He is getting his physical need met without emotional attachment. You, like most women, likely attach emotional love to sex. In other words, if it hurts your heart, stop doing it.
3)Find the 37 steps...quickly. Someone has to have it posted around here. It's very helpful.
4)Have you had marriage counseling? If not, have you approached the subject?
5)How is your 9 year old handling the obvious situation?
Most of all, take time to find you in all of this. You say you know what you did wrong and really want to fix it. You've said you made changes before but they didn't "stick". Why is that?
