Excellent news on the apology....this sounds huge for your H!!!!! Don't be discouraged about the "empty feeling" it is pretty normal. Perhaps doing something fun with the step kids might help initiate some physical contact again. You do love them quite a bit. something like "I have really been missing SS, do you think it would be alright if I took him to the movies one day. This is good progress though and the steady dialog through e-mails is good....much better than before
