I'm so happy to hear you say this. Reaching a place of acceptance and peace is so important in all this. It's the only way we'll ever outlast the crisis, really.

I do notice being all together as family, not just being with the kids, seems to be more his happy place than it used to be.
So good to hear. Savor every moment. Sock away the good memories. Understand that there will still be some rocky times... and be ok with that.
The more good memories you're able to make now, the more H will continue to see the M as the direction he needs to move.
I hope you've been feeling better.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
