Re: Finding things

I may have missed this, but has your husband actually been leaving his stuff out in the open?  Or is it "not-very-well-hidden?"  

I agree with others who have pointed out, he's trying to pressure you about your daughter because he's isolating you.  I now see what I hadn't seen when I was in your position: that it's absolutely exhausting to keep the lie going, day in and day out, for years.  My husband got to a point where he seemed to dislike having anybody in the house other than me.  He was pretty vicious to my daughter, and I now see that she was making his situation twice as much work.  He actually said, once when she came home from college over Christmas (and this is a direct quote): "Why do you even come home?  Every time you come home, you ruin everything.  Everything is perfect until you get here."  

But one thing I think you should be aware of: if you sit your husband down for a talk, it's going to make a huge strain in the house with your daughter living there, but not knowing what's going on.  I think you should plan the conversation around a time when she'll be away, at least for a weekend or something.

Re: Finding things

Wilted.....you have your biggest ally living in the house. And of course your daughter must feel the tension. 

You've been there for your daughter.....she's old enough to be there for you.
