It’s nice to hear that H realizes the “cart before the horse” too.
I’m pretty sure H fear the fall out from OW. He needs to take this step. To find the courage, to break up with OW. Breaking up isn’t easy or pretty; yeah facing his fears and overcoming them.
S22 will hopefully find employment, soon. Something in his field of study would be great. However, a short term stepping stone job, or jobs, is excellent while getting to the career path.
It took me three years after university to get to this career path. Life is strange and has many twists and turns which usually end up being for the best. Well, I suppose when we make/approach the deviations that way, it affects the outcome favourably.
Good to see D20 doing well. She has an excellent role model. Her self confidence will grow, keep nurturing it, support, encourage, and uplift. It does take time, and a patience mentor.
A technician of mine had a lack of confidence. It’s taken a year, guidance, goals, achievements, setbacks, and challenges that pushed him out of his comfort zone. Forced him to push passed his self imposed limitations. He is becoming one of my best technicians.
People just have to believe in themselves. A patient mentor turns those negative inner voices slowly into positive ones. And beliefs take time to alter and strengthen. Your kids are lucky to have you.
Live, and believe, the good life my dear friend.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
