M, I think your h is in the hole with the dark depression. He's having to do some serious thinking about the situation and he's not going to contact you for a day or so.
He's had a lot to ponder over this holiday, i.e., the holiday, gifts, money, the car, etc. He now has to either contact his father or do something about finding a job. He's at the bottom of the barrel and he now has to figure out how to climb out.
Hang in there.
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.
