So H is taking the kids to pick up his father at the airport (he lives far away). H looked reeeeaaaallly unhappy this morning. He said that this visit just adds to the stress in his life right now and I agree. H's parents are loving and mean well, but H is atheistic and his parents are very religious so a lot of the tools and beliefs that have served H's parents well are not right for H. H's father really screwed up when H phoned him for support right before he moved out. Instead of listening to his son, H's father starting dumping on H about some marital tiff that he was having with H's mother . Many of the men that H has reached out to have really not been there for him...I find it so sad and disappointing. I know that H wants to sort out his feelings right now, and he is worried that he can't do that when the focus is on an out-of-town visiting parent. I guess he will use the children to avoid "deep conversations" this morning.
