OK...., maybe I was being a bit of an insensitive jerk. I am just having trouble walking the line between allowing myself to be abused and being a jerk myself. This morning I made it a point of getting up early and see him off on his next hunting adventure. Although he was still down on himself and frustrated, his anger and aggressiveness seemed to be incheck. I was able to talk with him and provide the encouragement he needed. I just want nothing to do with him when he is angry.
