GAL - I need ideas for things to do at home whilst the kids are in bed that are low energy ideally?! I get so bored and it's often the time that I get myself upset or worked up.
That's a tough one, because personally, I think GAL should be social, at least somewhat. Being with other people changes how you think of yourself, whereas going solo can really drive loneliness, depression, etc.
That said, a couple of ideas....exercise is a must, and if it has to be low energy, maybe yoga. You could also garden, read, home projects, etc.

Codependent No More is probably the only book I've read that falls into this category...but I highly recommend.

If he still has contact with OW, I would go dim. If not, then I would think about what you can handle without expectation and start there....small steps.
