Monica - what was/is your H's relationship like with his own dad??? Did his dad cheat?? I only ask b/c my Hs dad did cheat and was never there for my H and he resents it tremendously, but is trying very hard to make up for his own fathers mistakes...

One thing I don't think my H realizes, is that, not only do we need a provider, we want him emotionally too... Maybe that is just difficult for men...

Was just thinking about your H and why he is behaving this way, and why, when his own son didn't want to talk with him did he hang up. Doesn't seem right, if you ask me... I think he may be feeling the pain b/c he is now seeing how badly this is affecting S4...

These are guesses and opinions, but children can bring grown men to their knees, and it seems your H is resisting it... That makes me sad, but also very curious as to why he is being an as*hole about it all.... Is he blaming you for a lot of stuff??? Cuz if he is that kind of guy, then he may just assume that you are brainwashing S4 against him and that is why he hung up == again - a guess. but I am just speculating...

Sorry - I have rambled... I hope you are doing okay... I hate this for all of us...
