You are amazing. I walk for fairly long distances every day but my joints are creaky (I think I'm a little younger than you too...) and I can't imagine even running for a bus, never mind running up a hill.
You have so much power and intelligence and care and compassion. I think you'd be an absolute force of nature if you took that energy away from your H and put it towards your own life. I really do.

This is the most important thing about your post. It really is. H can take DC2 away if he wants to - and if he doesn't, that's something DC2 and H can deal with together, or not. You can't manage his parenting, his mental health, his brakes, or anything else. When you stop trying, you're going to have so much mental freedom to pour into yourself and your healthy relationships.
