You do what you can to manage.. the host may be coping, but he may not be gone .. he may be either sleeping, or working on something.. or hiding for a bit.. we do that at times.. especially if he was primary during a stressful time.. he may need a break.. or something needed his attention. Don't count on him being gone..

Is it normal for people to stop interacting out here.. it can be.. one of our former primaries.. is still mostly comatose most of the time.. others of us.. tend to take breaks.. or need time away from the body for whatever reasons

no offense taken.. it happens..
