My T has said something similar. That happiness is a fleeting emotion, and contentment is more what people are looking for. She also says that when people are doing well, they know that no matter what they go through, they know they will be okay, even if it is eventually.

This is in no way saying that you don't do enough with D or that you should somehow be doing more. Just that the way you and H communicate about what you both need in regards to her care may need to change.
I agree with Daisy here. It might be better if you just say "I have do have X finished by tomorrow, mind if you take D out a little earlier today, maybe a haircut? Instead of passively sort of suggesting it, and the feeding off his irration and apologizing (which i don't think is probably truly necessary).
Thanks for this!
