I can understand your concern. I am the original writer of this series. Normally, I would think that 4 months is probably not long enough to have digested all that this diagnosis could mean. However, he may have been waiting all of his life for this diagnosis and been assuming that he would meet the same fate as his mother? Just a thought. My concern is that he was already disengaged in the relationship and family and now he has this diagnosis, and may feel as though his future is out of control anyhow, so in his mind....why try? You have two young children to care for. Will he go to counseling with you? I know that leaving isn't easy and I do advocate to stick by your mate if they become ill and will teach the same to my son, but if your marriage was far from perfect before the diagnosis and he isn't willing to work on improving anything then where does that leave you?
