I concur with the point of view about self interest. In marriage self interest is something which must be kept in check. It is a fine balance, a dance of sort.
I truly hope when it comes to our children he wakes up sooner than later. It matters not the age of the child when it comes to the love, care, and interest of a parent. No matter when, it is devastating and forms the child.
That is his issue now, I'm no longer the facilitator . I will share my love, give of myself, and love them without condition. That is my role , and now I can even be somewhat of a friend. Since they are in their twenties, my role as a parent is so different. MUCH more enjoyable .
Thanks for popping in both of you two!
