Hi all,

Hope everyone has started the new year off on the right step.

I just had some journaling observations about H:

The week heading up to NYE, H worked overnights. He didn’t tell me, but did text our D and tell her. I only discovered he was working because I mentioned to her that I didn’t know if her dad would be home maybe she informed me he told her. He had been very teen like the weekend after Christmas, not wanting to be home.

New Year’s Day, he did not work, but stayed in the room with the door closed. On Saturday, he began cleaning out the garage, he continued today, also doing his sheets and clothes in the laundry. He has always been a neat person, but for the last 18+ months the garage has not been touched. He wandered in around dinner time, and ultimately ate in the other room with something else.

He’s just alone. He is still strong (online, at least) with OW2, his chit chat has disappeared.

I am just giving him space, it’s hard, but nothing new that I haven’t been working on since the bomb drop happened. Just writing it here to remind me.
