OMG - my dad says that all the time.
Exactly those words. It means "Don't call me, but I'll still feel good about myself because I offered."
I empathize with what you said here. My wife left me for another man just about a year ago, and my brother hasn't even sent me a text. My dad never asked about it. Going through it all alone. The other thing I've experienced is that cPTSD is not consistent with having good friends (that pesky trust and self-image thing). I have forced myself to form one male friendship, and that has really helped more than I could have imagined.
