Hi Punkin, all contact with my xh has stopped [on his side] for nearly two months. We had established a tenuous sort of communication, which went on for about 5 months, after a very long silence. And this has now stopped. TOTALLY.

i have no idea why. Sometimes I speculate, although I try hard not to. I caught occasional glimpses of the person he used to be so many years ago. Perhaps he did too and it frightened him. Who knows.

Apart from the final divorce hearing I haven't set eyes on him in over 18 months, maybe longer.

You are not a horrible person, you are dealing with someone who is very very strange.

My MIL died about 18 months ago, and i had a good r with her, although the rest of xh's family also act like I am yesterday's fish. But my xh claims he really misses his mother, which I find odd, as he really didn't get along with her when she was alive. I always wanted him to sort his r out with her, and he never did. What a pity.
