Where's he going to go that's going to accept him more for who he is than his family did? What my H did was perceive that his "new friends", who were single and in their 30's, really cared about him because they included him in their poker group. (I'll bet they just tolerated him and viewed him as the old f*rt!) He was/is unable to analyze the reality of how other people treat him and he preceived friendship from these guys.) Whereas people who are in tune with what is going on around them, do interprete polite interest from an acquaintance vrs true caring from a friend.
Thanks for your insight.
