Our children and I went to my parents' for Christmas holidays and spent two weeks there. On top of that a close cousin of mine had died so immediately after shutting down at work, I had to go. Our kids (7F & 2F) travelled with me for this trip. I flew my youngest brother in so he could help me drive to my parents because my husband said no, he won't drive us there. The flights tend to get too expensive so driving the 14hrs seems to be the cheaper option. In the 2 weeks that we were away, I decided not to be the first one to initiate communication like I ALWAYS do and wanted to see if he would. He TEXTED about 3 times in these 2 weeks

  1. Checking if we arrived on the day 2. Checking if funeral went to OK. 3. Asking on which day will we be back.

Not once did he ask to speak to the kids and not once did he phone. Neither did I because of the reasons above. Am I overreacting if I feel like he doesn't care about me, but most importantly the kids?
