frank, just wanted to touch on what you said about watching your wife be involved with family stuff. I have noticed I miss H the most when I see him be the wonderful dad he is, or by doing something for me around the house, things like that. I think its normal, at least I hope so!!!
Take care, you sound great today. Happy bday to your D!!
One the upside: he might realize his own issues by reading about and posting to others and thus eventually take some of his own (?) advice
My fear though is this:
That this is just the "overachiever" side of him and he can't stomach the idea of "failing" here - so he's trying to turn himself into a preferred poster.
The only problem with that is he hasn't done the time in the trenches to do anything other than parrot what he's been told by all of us.
