Hi Manda
something I learned the hard way was that sometimes people are withdrawing not because they dont care...but sometimes because they care too much..... and they just cant handle the turmoil that they feel when they seem helpless to solve someone else's pain. so they hide from it not to feel it. I know it hurts when they do that....but it isnt you they are rejecting...it is the feelings they cant cope with.
I so hope you will keep talking here...the members of this forum have a care and compassion that is truly remarkable.
I know they will help you through this hard time. I hope and pray something special comes your way to remind you that you are loved and appreciated
