SG-- Maybe he needs the laundry list, but not all at once. It is SO positive that he is going to a C. Do you know if they are solution-based? After a few private sessions, maybe you could go in with him to one, get the most important / big issues out on the table. You can't tell if he will be the person you need to be for it to work. But you worked on you and changed...could he possibly work on him to change, as well? This could be the chance for that... WAS believe with their whole heart that the LBS cannot change--D is the only answer. But we do. Can you afford him the same opportunity? Otherwise, you will never know...
