I will try that this weekend and try to talk to him. The that that always irls me the most is his silence. Even when asked he is usually silent. It's like dealing with a child doing the silent treatment. His father is this way to. You won't ever catch him talking about his feelings whether it be grief or fear or anything. His father always down plays things to like it's no big deal.
If I can just maybe come across as caring? And wanting to make things better for him? For us? Maybe he would open up. The thing I will have to remember most is...if he gives the silent treatment to just shut up and walk away. That is when I get angry and say very mean things out of anger.
