As I have told you before, he is staying away from your D16 due to guilt. He knows what she is thinking and what she may/may not say to him.
Staying away and no contact does not mean it is over. They do this and yes, they are thinking as you are giving him his space and time by not contacting him.
Right now, your H is not ready to face his family as much as you'd like.
There will come a time when he is ready but it will take time.
When that reconnection happens, they reconnect with kids first, spouse last.
