When I got home tonight H seemed sad. I asked how his dad was and he replied "just another day." I asked if he enjoyed the peace and quiet and he said he was bored.
Kids have been gone most of the week. I only called him once today and was happy when I got home. Perhaps him being alone made him realize how the future could be without his family if he decides to leave. I did feel bad for not calling after work before class, but he can't miss me if I'm available, plus he can call me if he wanted to. I hope he doesn't take it as me not caring about him. He tends to be depressed often (won't seek help) and shuts his feelings down.
