I think Wounded Fool means praising the 1%. If your h does something or the boys have a good time with him saying something like, " The boys really enjoyed going to the park. I appreciate you doing that with them ." Or if he feed the dog, Thanks for feeding Mr. Fluffers, h. I appreciate you doing that! ". Don't go overboard. Just a genuine thanks or mention of gratitude should suffice.
In regards to the 18 yr old, you didn't *make* him date her. Nope. However, I know it hurts. Just don't waste another minute ruminating over that relationship as you can't control it. Don't send the letter. I'm pretty sure it would be met with eye rolls and venom.
Hang in there:)
