Hi Shining smile

Love the new thread title btw!

This is just my opinion from what I experienced with my H...

My H distanced himself from me and the kids, yet as time went on, he seemed to get offended that he didn't know the details of what was going on in our day to day lives. He couldn't see that this was his own doing. He was also very sensitive in the fact that he was convinced our boys loved me more than him.

I know it may not seem like it, but underneath it all, they do love their children - and us too. They are just so emotionally paralyzed by their pain and what they take to be insurmountable life problems, they can't properly express their feelings for their family. It doesn't mean they don't care.

I would share the news with your H if you can do so with no expectations - if you can go into it knowing that he may very well have the reaction of an inanimate object. wink

This IS exciting news, that you would share with friends and family. If you think it's the right thing to do to share it with your H - regardless of his reaction - then do so.

Congratulations to your son! The vets say that life doesn't stop because of MLC, and they are right. Keep living and enjoying these kinds of moments - that is what life is all about smile
