Good for you for being proactive in seeing a lawyer and renewing your license.
A few things about the MLCer. They want to to feel heard. You dont have to like what he wants, but you do have to hear it.
So, when you stuff like you did about divorce and the kids, you say it with an expectation that it will matter to him. It wont as this time. He is in selfish mode.
He is in crisis and he is hurting and it trying to find out how to fix it. I know you are hurting, too. A great deal. But as I said, he isnt thinking about that.
Now that doesnt mean he shouldnt get truth darts at some point. But the time for that isnt now. You are still too early into this for that.
COntinue to do what you need to do for you and your kids and leave him to blowin the wind right now.
He needs to walk this journey. Your job is to get out of the way of it.
Please be sure to protect yourself financially as they can wreak havoc there.
You will be ok. You will get through this. One day at a time.
