Thank you, Walking. I never meant to buy his love, materially or otherwise. I just always thought, if I do a little more, or try a little harder, I'll be able to earn his respect and he will treat me better. Instead it has done the opposite. I read Dobson's Tough Love today, and I have been approaching this whole thing exactly backwards.

Now how to unwind 4 years of damage that is partly of my own creation, I am clueless.
