Mia, Please re-read the last couple of postings that Sotto posted to you. She's spot on. There's nothing you can do to make your h do the right things when it comes to your children, you, the relationship, etc. MLC is all about them and what they want to do at that time. They have very little regard to what we are feeling and they do not care if we have ample funds to live on, etc.
It's important to focus on what you can actually control, i.e., you, your life and being there for your children.
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.
