I’d love to congratulate him in our family group chat ( just us and our kids ) today on the 2 months but I have a feeling that it won’t go over well, so I don’t think I will. Isn’t that strange though? It’s almost as if he wants to completely forget that the last decade happened at all.
Two months is great but that first year is pretty tough.

His emotions are probably all over the place. He probably can't deal right now with what he has done in the last decade.

Best to just leave him to it and take care of yourself.
