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
