I strive to ensure we are all as healthy as possible in the meantime.
He can quickly revert to his toxic ways. Although I do believe he has made fundamental belief and perception changes. He needs to commit to a strategy for stress management. And he needs to appropriately voice his requests before he gets overwhelmed..not after.
I put this out here to hear back from others, and I am very thankful for your input. Writing this right now, I am believing in myself even more.

I'm very proud of you, you have grown and become a very wise woman

All things we have that we care about require work. Relationships, kids, vehicles, homes, our yards...but it's all worth it. But somethings, other than kids, you may have just let go to protect yourself and the kids. But it sounds like you and your husband have come to some realizations of the harm that this type of environment can be on everyone. Very proud of you both and your resolve to work this out!
