maynard, thanks for your response. It's so frustrating, right? I had no clue that for FOUR YEARS this man felt pain and sadness when he came home to find dinner ready. I thought I was doing such a good thing for him. Go figure.

I understand what you mean about the willingness. He is not willing right now, and it all seems so simple to me. I love what you said here: "It's criminal the way I see it, to have the answers and know the solutions, but be held back by one party...UGH." This is so true!!

Thanks again. Hope you are doing well.
