How does he sound so normal? So OK?

I had to text tonight because of some information about one of the kids. I kept it simple, stuck to the facts and let it go. He didn't respond and I assumed he wouldn't. But, he called.

The information was pretty serious stuff so I'm not reading anything into his calling.

After giving him the facts, I asked how he was doing. He said he was "actually doing pretty good."

The thing is that he sounded OK. How is that possible? I'm tearing my hair out and he's so OK?

Everyone that talks to him says the same thing. H sounds OK, pretty content with life as it is. HOW??? He has deserted his family and he's OK????

Please someone help me understand this. I know part could be the drugs, but I know him--he really sounds OK. I just don't get it. My life is falling apart and he is content.
