Afraid, Remember, the stages are interchangeable and they do bounce between they throughout the crisis. Denial is the only one that they will not bounce back to once the crisis is in full swing. In acceptance, you'll see a bit of anger, replay, depression and withdrawal all mixed together and yes, you'll even see some "children/various personalities" come into play, but most especially, the real child will come out.
Some do not outwardly show all of the signs. Your h may be a very mild case and not as intense as some of the others. Why is that? Because his issues from his childhood may not have been as bad as others and you've left him alone pretty much. You came to the board very early on and learned out to leave him be. This is very important and you've not shoved him out the door. You've allowed him to sleep, etc. and have not judged him either. You've kept your expectations at zero and have been taking care of yourself and your children. Your h is doing just fine and you are doing great.
BTW, has he said anything more about moving or purchasing any other bikes lately? How does he look these days? How is he acting? Has he begun to show interest in what you and the children are doing?
Hang in there.
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.
