any suggestions on how I could facilitate a conversation between H and his dad?
Maybe try facilitating some empathetic listening skills between the two?
"H, really listen to what you dad is saying, and when he is done, repeat back what you heard him say..." "FIL, is what H repeated back what you meant to say? Do you have anything to add to it, or correct?" etc...
or am I WAAAAAY ahead of the game, WAAAYYY too early for that?
I guess you could always put a bottle of scotch and two glasses on the table between them and see what happens....just kidding (maybe)...

I will send some patience shovels on the next truck heading down there for ya...MLC, in-laws on extended visit...methinks you might need some extras in the shed...
You are awesome, and I do believe H knows this as well, just taking some time to come to terms with himself... T^2
