The pain will ease in time, but the scar will remain. Unfortunately w/him in the house and making comments such as he has, they don't help your pain. However, I do think the fact that you are working will help in time.
Whether he was joking or not about the XW2's life or not, it was very cruel. Maybe he doesn't realize that she could actually out live him if she got proper treatment. Now, that would be something to think about.
I'm so sorry you are going through this. I wish I had a wand and could wave it and make things better for you and the other posters. It's a very long, hard journey w/a lot of pain mixed in, but at the end of your journey, you'll be even stronger than you are today...it all takes time.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
