Hi Burne. It is difficult when there is zero contact...but it can also be a blessing. You are watching them for signs. You can continue on your path.
I think the holidays affect them as they do us. Reflection, fear, uncertainty.
If they choose to be more resolute in their decisions during the holiday...it is due to fear usually. They think they do not want what they had before. They reflect on what they perceive is their unhappiness...us...and they run faster.
But of course we know, their unhappiness lies within them. But it is far easier for them to blame us.
I know that you not hearing anything at all can be very hard for you. But you have no idea what is going on in their heads and trust me...you do not want to know what's up in there.
You keep working on you. If your spouse looks your way...let them see strength and courage...not for them, though, but for you.
