bustingout - so sorry to hear that you found out more details. that's always a really unsettling time.
I think you have a good head on your shoulders and your plan to be distant but friendly is properly DB.
In this situation, it may help you to think of H's problems as "her" problems for now - you don't need to go out of your way to assist him with any issues he's having. I agree with the note above to let him understand what life without you will be like. By the way - there's no way "she" knows more about your H than you do, though. Even if she knows the recent stuff. She just doesn't. You have the power there.

UKVA, verab....thank your support and words. About to leave to the airport in a few hours and really feeling the physical anguish throughout me right now.
I just need to get through this. This first step.
I think I am really starting to understand how long and hard this road is going to be. Because honestly I feel like just running! But this will take seasons I realise. Not to fix the M necessarily ( if that even happens) but to fix me. To get through this wiser stronger better and happier.
The kids are excited to see daddy. So I will use that as my focus right now. To make sure I don't fall into my old habits of sulking, being a cow, or looking desperate and sad.
Thank you again. You are all in my heart. Talk to you soon.
