Hey Ad, hope you found something fun for the holiday. I'll chime in on the sleepover thing too. S13 typically has 1 to 3 friends over almost every Friday. It's fun but we certainly have to find good boundaries. Our latest is "no food upstairs". The big issue is our sin not taking responsibility to clean up. Just another learning opportunity.
Your observations on your h are interesting...lost kitten...devaluing accomplishments of others., etc. you are right in that it can be mind reading but you also seem to be very astute. There is something there that your H needs to deal with. It's hard knowing that he has to choose to do so himself.
Glad you are able to acknowledge the hurt and keep moving. You are a strong person. Take care
