Raine, things are moving along very nicely and I'm glad to see that he's stepping up to the plate. This is what reconnection is all about. Learning to explore, love, best friends, etc., It's how you started out years ago as best friends and then things evolved into couples and then marriage.
I'm glad to hear that the "bag" has now disappeared. It's a good sign even though it had a little help towards the end...but it's gone and he's home to stay. That's what is important.
Raine, you are still going to have some rough patches, but that's okay. When they hit, be honest w/him about what makes you angry or uncomfortable. He won't know what's on your mind unless you tell him. The crystal ball is broken...so speak up. He'll work w/you any way that he can to prove to you that he loves you and wants to be there w/you and the children.
I can see that the new year will be even better and more promising for you and your family. A new beginning all of the way around! I just love happy endings!
Enjoy the holidays and enjoy exploring the world w/your h and your new marriage. It's truly a wonderful life for you and your h.
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.
