I'm sorry it's come to this, but some of they do remain in that "comfort zone" that they have known for a very long time and let's face it...it takes a lot of hard work to break free from those chains of unhappiness, etc.
I think you have a good attitude and moving forward is the best course for you and yes, even for your girls. You will be amazed at what life has to offer once you drop the rope and begin focusing on you for a change.

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.
LT, great to hear from you. I was wondering about you recently. I'm sorry that your ex is still in nowhere land. I'm happy to hear that you and your girls are doing great regardless of that, and that you have plans for your future. I'm kind of in a similar situation. My H (yes, still legally married) seems to be very comfortable with his life and I don't see anything changing in our sitch, unless I file or persuade him to file, so we could at least put a close on this.
New house with no mortgage sounds very exciting! It's great to have this option. Wishing you all the best!
