Nicola - Congratulations on your decision for total immersion baptism.
I hope that you continue to have the strength to continue, as you are an amazing person. I do know what you mean about exhaustion. I have got to the point where I really can't take any more - hence have gone completely dark, and refuse all contact. It was necessary for me to survive. I don't feel that my h has made any progress - he did, and then slipped further back into the pit. He is icy cold, and really 'dead'. Truly a pitiless alien.
One thing that bothers me is that reading TMAK's reconnection thread, there is no-one for him to reconnect to, because they are totally p*ssed off with the way that he has treated his family. The children don't trust him any more, and have rejected his most recent attempts to play 'Mr Pass for Normal' [let's pretend that everything is OK, and that people do this sort of cr*p all the time, and it is no big deal for adults is it?] No, there is an ELEPHANT in the room dad, that everyone can see but you.
