Strongbear JMO, I think he IS connecting. He is connecting by being at the house. He is connecting by the note he left you. He is connecting by spending time with the family.
Is that right? Is that fair to you? NO But I think he is trying to connect in ways other than phyisically with you. I did/am doing the same thing now.
I feel bad for everything I have done. I don't feel like I deserve that little kiss or hug from my wife.
I did hug her this morning, but that took a month for me to do. She initiated it.
