For example, does H have a fear? It appears he does, but hell, maybe he just doesn't want to talk about it. Is it a fear? Sure, maybe, call it what you want. The way I see it, it doesn't matter if it is a fear or not per se. What matters is that he doesn't like to discuss it and is projecting that onto our son. Is that rationalizing?
You looked up a definition of rationalizing, apply it where it may be applicable.
