Thank you both.
Yes, I am hoping he is peeking out of the tunnel. Connecting with kids a little. But, better than none.
He is confused. And, that bugs me. How confusing can it be?!? There should be no confusion whether you want your family or not. But, yes, I understand WHY they are confused. I know I can't "snap" him out of it? Even though I do try.
I feel there is no room for me to be human. ALl these excuse for him but none for me. Guess I am still angry.
