[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 583470, member: 14557"] father in law continues to be great. When I left to work this morning difficult child was still asleep (and I think he had slept through the night, at least he wasn't up or turned on lights in any point, I would had woken) and now that I came home, he and dogs are gone and there is a note saying he took the dogs and borrowed husband's off-track skis and went ice fishing with gramps. Day outdoors, doing something totally different, peace, quiet and no stress and just being with his granddad is certainly good for difficult child. If we are lucky they may even catch something. What happened is something that is likely to make difficult child question himself as a man and he really lives in very guy-heavy life, because of his sport. Other men and what they think about him are even more important to him than for other young men (and it is very important to them too.) And I agree that husband's support and acceptance would be most important to difficult child right now. And I certainly hope husband can man up and give him that. But also having father in law's support and acceptance is huge to difficult child. father in law, being (now retired) part time farmer and living right next to us and taking difficult child with him a lot to 'help him' in farming and being avid outdoors person and fisher and hunter, has always been a big role model of the manly man to difficult child. Some ways even more so than husband with his desk job. [/QUOTE]
