Today is H's mother's b-day. He didn't call her or email her or anything, much less invite her to dinner or anything like that. I got a card for her and we all signed it. I almost put it in the mail without asking H to sign it since I'm so used to doing things without him now.

His R with mom has always been rocky but since we've been married it's been fine. This is odd behavior for him and I can only think that our bomb stirred up some old unresolved feelings about the abandonment. I feel sorry for him that he hasn't been able to resolve that. I know the boys haven't seen her in months either. Makes me sad.

Love means not giving up on someone even if they've given up on you.
