HaWho, it will be a s-l-o-w turnaround as H works his way through the crisis.
There will be little nice things along the way... enjoy them, but don't think that it means he's done baking. He won't be for a while.
Job tells us that slow and steady wins the race. Go for that!
I read your opening post in Newcomers. It reminded me of some things I had forgotten from the beginning of our crisis. (I like to think of it as "our" crisis, not "her's". I understand what she's going through and how she got there. It's really not her fault, and she deserves to be loved!)
The avoiding eye contact, the "dead" look in her eyes, the hiding in another room, the going to bed without saying goodnight...
I'm so glad that's mostly behind us now!
If doing all the child care leaves you feeling like a doormat, don't be afraid to ask H to help out with certain tasks. He can and likely will help if you ask nicely... when he does you'll feel better about the sitch, and it will give you more strength to stand... which you're gonna need!

M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
