mrs.c, I have one child, who, like your H, is a classice type 5 and it's impossible to get her to come forward spontaneously with her feelings, although she feels a lot. I've learned a trick, though...I can get stuff out of her while driving in the car!
LFL, I hope you get some of the marital issues settled before the parental crises begin... it kind of happened at the same time for me.
Things do work out the way theyn are meant to...justt rying to stay calm here and keep the faith.
