Hi lkbun

I'm sorry that your ex placed strain on your relationship with your family.

I can't pretend to know why he isolated himself from your family. However, I do know from personal experience that when I'm depressed im not really in the mood for seeing anyone really. It can be hard for our partners to cope with it.

I think that the distance placed between you and your family can be rebuilt over time.

You might find the Relationship Forum useful for discussing positive steps to reconnecting with them.

Take care.
