H called to see if I'd be home tonight. Came by but only to call our cell phone carrier to separate the bill. Took FOREVER and I made small talk and did a good job of not being too interested, no ILYs, seeming detached, etc.
But what was odd was the kids were home and in the basement. He didn't go down to say hi or talk. In fact, H hasn't talked to them since the first week he left. He's offered no explanation to them (D15, S17) for what's going on.
I went down afterwards and said H must be having a really hard time and be very confused to not talk to them, and just to pray that he can work through his issues and get to a better place. Tried to assure them this has nothing to do with them, and everything to do with how H is coping.
It really broke my heart that he didn't go talk to them. But I didn't say anything to H because I didn't want to seem controlling or pushing him or guilt tripping him.
Isn't that odd or is this typical with a MLC or WAH?
