Update: After a two week hiding period he finally surfaced and we talked a little about his PTSD. He brought it up (thank goodness) and said he was distant because he was in his own internal turmoil and didn't want to subject me to it. Wouldn't go into detail but I expressed knowlege of how I...

OK, so now it's time to make some decisions. He called me last night, aplogized for his part in not contacting and explained it as just being "him" and having soo much going on. He said the day of the concert he was going to surprise me and come with his daughter and then she bailed. I want to...
