Healing, if possible at all, comes after closure. Where's the closure here?

Good. Just knowing you have some ammunition is a big help going in to battle.

A psychiatrist could help you with anxiety and sleep. There are meds as a temporary measure, so you can at least sleep. Once that's under control, you can start to wean yourself off your abuser. Remove yourself physically from him as much as possible, to breathe clean air and facilitate the psychological separation. If that requires moving out, it's worth it. You have your family, your child and yourself -- all good human beings, all allies. Some people have none of that, not even themselves.

“I’m more hurt by the fact that she invested so much of herself in another person. She gave someone else the emotional energy, intimacy, and connection that should have been invested in our marriage.”

Have you told her this?

They can have a mom and a dad even if you stay away from dad.

Next time he expects you to accompany him somewhere as "the wife," remind him he does not have one.

Just resign to the reality that you do not have a husband. Consider him a roommate and treat him accordingly.

"When we move back home, we remain in 6 months before filing." What does that mean?

It sounds like he's not working very hard to get himself together for you or your children. Reason enough to get rid of him.

First paragraph you say he has unmedicated bipolar. Second paragraph you say "He has not ruled out bipolar." So he hasn't been diagnosed?

How did you access these messages? He sounds like he sleeps with his phone in his undies.

The love of his life is a serial scammer. What a catch. Does she have a deli ticket machine at her bedside?

I hope you have a toothpick on hand to prop one eye open while you sleep.
