Being Patient

I wouldn't reply to that either. It's just his way of saying he knows he's acting like a turd and then saying it's not over yet.

I don't have a ton of great advice for you, I wish I did.

I do think that you laying down what you want and being clear is a good thing.

Sounds like you are doing everything you can Helhel. Your H has a significant mental health issue to work through. His apology is genuine, I think. It is good that he has a little bit of insight. I think Ovrrnbw is right... it’s not over yet. Keep the focus on you and your kids. (((HUGS)))

Thank you. I will try and be that lighthouse.

Today he took the twins and youngest daughter out. Daughter (13) found him hard work and he was really argumentative with her - don’t think he gets teenage girls. He then stayed all afternoon - watching tv on his own. Left him to it.
