Bea posted this to you: "Thank him for letting you know, say you are very sorry that he has come to this decision, but acknowledge that it is his choice." Her suggestion is spot on and to the point.
I agree. Keep it simple. Acknowledge his choice. Leave it at that for now. You need to find your balance before discussing anything else with him.
Lots of love,
Heather
