H did his disappearing act from our 25 year marriage and family at the end of March. He (what he tells everyone anyway) is living in his truck (semi) and does nothing but work (drive). He has been hit twice, most recently this week by a drunk driver. The first incident caused $5K worth of damages to his truck (which we own).

He also commented that the kids (23 & 18) don't call him but will talk to him when he calls them. His phone rarely rings except for bill collectors, even calls from his family are few and far between. Even our mutual friends don't call him. In all fairness they don't call me either. Our friends, really his friends and their wives, like me according to H and he seemed somewhat surprised to hear that they weren't contacting me.

There is so much material here that is so ripe for sarcasm, I could do at least a 30 min stand up routine, but I have refrained.

Is this the beginning of a visit from Karma? Or do I just have a vicious and vindictive streak that is a mile wide right now?
