I'm so glad to hear from you and that you followed your heart on this. It could be that talking to the kids more reminded him of what he has lost and missed. I'm sure you will hear from him again when he is ready.
The best advice that I have seen on the boards, bar none, is when in doubt do nothing. When I have violated this, I have been sorry. When I have not, things have been good.
I guess you and I will sit in Limboland, proud to be great moms to our wonderful kids, and having no shame in telling someone that we are separated. This was their choice, not ours. All we can do is hold our heads up high and love our kids.
