That story was amazing, I don't know if you realize it or not. How awesome that your teenage soon is thinking of your H's feelings, and trying to find ways to validate him. I remember when I was 14 all I cared about was myself (and not getting the crap beaten out of me by my dad). I was even suicidal for awhile (although I never told anyone, just worked it out myself). Your son sounds like a great kid.
