My H reconnected with the kids first BUT it was S17 he really bonds and connects with. H and the girls don't talk very much and they do not go out of their way to talk to each other when H comes over. The girls got burned when H was in his anger mode a few years ago and also H flaunted the A in their faces. Even though they have moved on, the girls do not go out of their way for him and he says they don't come to him so he keeps his distance.
Me--it was not until recently where H could spend a lot of time with me. But he has stopped the texting and calling to me.
Your H is reconnecting which is a positive.
