I think not. I realize I am the minority. I have sympathy for the father. I hope it works out
No, I don't think the father should feel forced into anything. I just feel that he should somewhat understand that his son needs to feel cared for right now. Son should probably talk to his father, but he is probably scared that his father will just re-iterate everything he has already said--making son feel worse. Maybe by Art talking to H, she can help him see son needs something that maybe isn't natural for him?

I don't know. I just am throwing questions out there. I am not a parent, but I am a preschool teacher, and I know how difficult these sort of things are.
