True, He's starting to realize that love and happiness come from within and that the illusive happiness he was looking for isn't out there. He's also come to realize what he had w/you.
Is he waking up? A little. As for the holiday, he needed to be alone to think about what he's lost. I'm glad he has seen that the ow only want to be supported and nothing more. Life is slowly chaning his rose colored glasses to clear. He still needs more time to bake up nicely.
You may not hear from him for a few more days. He's most likely in his depressed state again. He's having moments of clarity and this is very good.
I'm glad you had a nice holiday w/your family. It's always a let down when they go home and then you are there alone once again. It's time to start thinking about what you want to do over the next few months until spring comes along.
True, keep your expectations at zero and know that you h is still very much the fog, but he is starting to see things as they were pre-crisis.
Hang in there. Happy New Year to you too!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
