oh crap, I'm so sorry your SO didn't contact you while you were facing the death of your parent. I would like to "punch his in the ear" like uR says, or send her over to do the punching, she's fierce! Maybe you are better without him in your life, my dear friend, you are growing stronger. Throw his stuff away, live your life. When he returns he won't even recognize you! You are a survivor Portia!

It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
Still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
And now I'm saving all my loving
For someone who's loving me
....."I will survive" Gloria Gaynor
