As I'm feeling a bit better for now, I thought I'd come out and see how the rest of the troops are doing.
Sorry to hear about your S meeting OW. I know how you must be feeling right now and I understand you. It's like it spells out clearly that your kids' family is now a different entity. I fear the day when this happens in my sitch but somehow, I have a feeling that it will because my W has been as sensitive as your H when it comes to D8's feelings and ability to cope.
I keep telling myself that W is bound to come out of it but how long will it take? We can't just sit here and wait for it to happen so what do we do? We take care of our kids the best we can and show them that there is still a family to rely on. We show them the strength that perhaps our spouses lack and let them know that not everything in their world has gone bananas. That we are still here for them, just the way we always were.
We need to give them something they can still trust in the middle of all this madness which is upsetting their world. You sound like a strong woman FIO, and a woman any man would be proud to call his wife, and the mother of his children. Don't let the man your husband has become affect that beautiful person I know you are.
Take care of yourself.
