Your H sounds like my students lately. I teach teenage adjudicated boys. If you disagree with them or call them on inappropriate behavior then you get all kinds of feedback trying to justify their behavior. It is a very annoying process.
Kind of proves the theory that they are in their second childhood.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
