Mopsey, They all want to feel like they can rescue someone. It's your lucky day with the dryer broken and him wanting to come by. Don't question him about this, in fact, encourage him whenever he offers to do something. Be sure to thank him once he's completed the work. They need to feel needed and admired. I know, he's been whacked for quite a while, but he's feeling a tad lonely and wants a little bit of attention from the family.
It's an up and down process and you can't figure them out. That's why it is so important to keep the focus on you and your children for you'll never know from one minute to the next what he's going to say or do. How could you? He doesn't even know himself.
Keep your sense of humor. It will carry you through the rough times.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
