I am glad your h didn't move out. It heightens the drama that you somehow have to avoid, but I think it makes db'ing a little easier when you have some contact on a somewhat regular basis.
Sorry about the problems with your parents. I have run into the same things with my family -- giving advice and offering help that I don't want or need. I just try to remind myself that they see I am hurting and are trying to do what they think will help end the hurt the quickest. They think they are helping and being supportive.
I think a lot of people look at us standers as freaking nut jobs. They can't fathom that we are willing to put up with some of the stuff we go through.
But, I think, that those of us who manage to weather the storm and rebuild a better marriage will be able to hold our heads high in front of those folks and they will end up having a lot of respect for the courage and resolve we showed.
I know - and I'm sure you know - we are all doing what is best for us!
Just my 2 1/2 cents.
