BTW, my parents are doing fine and hanging in there, thank God. They don't know what is going on this time because H asked me not to say anything. My mom would worry too much anyway, so I think it is best for now.
I did think back, and there was another trigger. H started withdrawing again in the second week of this month. On the 3rd of January we had to put our dog Buddy to sleep. This time he went with me to do it. He cried and told Buddy he wished we could have fixed him. This all happened within a couple of days. The next day I was still pretty darn upset and my H started to stuff his feelings again. He didn't want to talk about Buddy. So maybe this is what started it again????
And you are so right that I have to keep my mouth shut and let him deal with it himself. He is outside waxing vehicles. I know that when he does that it makes him happy, so I will let him be.
