Happy belated birthday! I'm glad you spent it w/people who love and care about you. Sorry to hear that one of your children was sick, but hopefully better now.
Even though your h has agreed to do things around the hope, I would still have Plan B in place if he doesn't show after an hour. You can't rely on them to keep their promises as they are not the people we once knew pre-crisis. That person is now gone and a teenager has replaced him. To avoid this frustration again, keep the guy's number handy and have him come out and plow you out. Expectations w/an MLCer will always be a disappointment and keep you frustrated and angry. Drop them down to zero.
I hope today is a good day for you. Happy Valentine's Day! Do something special for yourself...you've earned it.
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.
