Root, Thanks for the input. I too have wondered if he is going through a MLC or depression. When he decided to leave, he said he had been unhappy for 3 years although he never tried to discuss this with me. He did retreat to the bedroom at night to watch tv instead of spending time with the family. That was one of his complaints that he was always in the bedroom staring at the four walls and no one cared if he was there or not. I asked him who made him go to the room. When he would come over during our separation I would always try to engage him in conversation. He spent the night at the house several nights and I would always make sure that if he went to bed early I also went. He says he has tried, but he just doesn't have feelings for me. I am going to stay dark for my own sanity.
As far as spending time with our youngest daughter he never calls her and invites her to do things. Right now she is so put out with him she doesn't want to call him. I told her the other day you know he loves you and I hugged her. She said I'm alright, he never calls me anyways.
It is spring break and luckily both of my girls have the same one. I will enjoy my girls and do what they want to do. We will spend quality time together.
