I am sorry that your aunt passed away. Your emotions are very raw and it's understandable that you would cry. We can cry at any age and there's no shame in that. In a way, crying helps us to heal and move on a bit.
Sounds like your h is trying to buy the love of his kids. They'll figure this out in time.
The MLCer becomes the mirror image (opposite) of the old self and will do things that they didn't do with us.
Take of yourself.
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.
