On another note. I told him that it was just too emotionally difficult for me to attend his families holiday functions with what is happening. Because it would be rude and a huge red flag for my daughter and I not to be at his Moms on Christmas Eve - he told her 2 days ago that we are divorcing.
Im trying to not let it bother me. I dont think that anyone in his family will be happy with this , nor do I think they would persuade him to rethink.
So, last night. I talk in my sleep commonly and he told me this morning, laughing, that I said " But my dog is small" and I replied that I had been dreaming of looking at an apartment that would not take my dog. He made a sad face.
That is truly the only "good" sign I have had.
Meanwhile he and my daughter are brutal to each other and thats a whole other issue that Im not sure how to deal with.
