Hi Angela,

You've taken the right step. You're in the right place as you already know from all the reading you've done.

A few tips - although I'm no vet by any means - definitely get hold of Divorce Remedy. No more snooping - it doesn't help, and probably make things worse.

You and your kids have to be your focus now. You can't do anything to change your H, and if he is MLC he may or may not even realize how hurtful he's being. He's not capable of thinking straight right now.

You have to decide not to take everything he says personally. My H is most likely MLC, and has done some really stupid and really hurtful things lately, but I've tried not to take it personally. It's not going to be easy and it's not going to be quick.

Continue with your 180s, get some GAL activities - some on your own, some with your kids, keep reading other threads, keep posting even if its just to vent on a bad day or just to journal. You're not alone, and you'll get lots of support on this forum.

Remember this is not a sprint, its a marathon.

Stay strong and keep posting.
