Him missing you is great. Goes to show you that when he sees you nearly every day he doesn't have a chance to miss you. I don't think it means he'll snap back but at least he has something buzzing around in his head.
As for him not ringing the kids. It is sad but also expected. Kids are responsibilities. Kids also look at a parent and it clearly shows on their faces what they think. MLC wants none of that. If you'd discuss a bill or invoice to be paid he'd probably run and hide.
Enjoy your time to detach.
You seem to be doing feel and grasping the idea of what is expected from your H. Answer: nothing
