Come on Fixer, why can't H understand that stealing is dead wrong?
If H is in MLC he's only out for himself, including having the children take a back seat. He knows what he's doing is wrong, he's just not able to understand the why he's doing the things he does. An MLC can make an honest person lie, a smart person dumb and a loving person... feel no love. He's no different than you and me except I believe the stronger someones faith is the easier it is to make the journey.
Now I think you should keep the lines of communications open. Don't stop talking to him on the phone. Instead try to end the phone conversation first. You also are going to have to be the best actor you can be. If he said something to make you angry, hide that emotion until your alone. If he drops by unexpectantly tell him you were on your way out. Then go and and do something.
Oh being honest and straight forward is only good if your a bad politican. Sometimes you have to not say things. For example would you tell a close friend their bady was ugly if you thought it was. No. Why b/c you relize that words can hurt. Even if you H robbed a local convient store, you don't tell him stealing is wrong, he already know that. You want him to talk. When your out on a date, use eye contact talk with I statements and try to be a good listener. Out of all the self help books I've read, the key to a good conversation is to be a good listener.
