Talk to the IC about your S too, he may need IC as well.

I tried explaining to my H that the kids cant handle him coming and going all the time n they feel abandoned. He doesnt get it n says it all my fault n he hates me. Prior to the OW I cant remember a time when he would speak like that to me. Its as if aliens took over his body.


The "alien" comment is actually fairly common in the case of MLC. Many spouses say the same thing.

i would appreciate any advice on how to get thru this w my sanity still intact.


IC is a good step, you might also talk to the IC about how you're feeling and see if the C thinks you should see a PCP about depression medication. Many of us on these forums have had to get anti-depressants to help us through the worst of this.

Right, it's his issue, not yours. Don't let it escalate into an argument though, just tell him that since you're separated he's going to have to get used to taking care of himself. If he wants to push it then just let it drop.
