I dont disagree that children add a new element to the mix and one I cant say I have any experience with. But, IMO of course, Kevin is unable to manage that and heal so he needs to obtain the tools on how to do that. You are right, it must be done but thus far what he has done has not worked and nothing has changed for him therefore he is stuck. Kevin and his W are not the only couple in the world going through a D with kids and certainly in the entire Dallas metro area there must be SOME resource for Kevin to use.
I cant relate to the children thing but I can relate to being very ill and having to deal with that on your own while having to mourn, move on and fight an illness. So, we all have our crosses to carry but the good thing is we dont have to carry them alone and there is help out there if we want it.
All I am saying is at this point, based on what Kevin has shared about his chronic unhappiness it seems he needs a trained pro to help him unlock some of this. By unlocking some of those demons he might just find co parenting becomes much easier as right now he seems to be his own worst enemy.
JMO of course. As I said, I cant pretend to understand the child issue because I dont have any. But at the end of the day Kevin needs to deal with his own issues before any other area of his life will flourish.
