Have you thought about counseling for S?


I have... though it's a little strange since we haven't told the kids yet. I'm sure they can all tell a change in the demeanor, they're not dumb, but we haven't gone there yet.

This particular issue actually predates the bomb by quite a bit. I believe it's more of a mechanics issue than it is a emotional/behavioral issue. Or at least part of it is. How S interacts with my W is a whole separate issue and I believe is born of years of her lack of interaction with him. She often complains that he doesn't listen to her or behavior for her the way he does for me, and I know she resents me for it. But fundamentally she hasn't put in the time with him. There are reasons for that, some good some not, but it doesn't change the reality.

We ended up texting a little bit tonight about him.
