There can be little doubt about how you feel and it seems he does want to be there. Trust me, it is HUGE for him to sit and discuss his feelings and issues. And that he acknowledges them is important. Does not mean he can solve them, but he does recognize them. I would give anything for W to sit and discuss the issues of the M instead of walking away. I hope she knows how I feel and how much this family wants her to be here, but at the same time I do want her to find what it is that is "missing," I just hoped it would be here.
