magicalprince - in addition to my rambling reply, I've been thinking about your comment regarding not trying to change people. I would desperately like to change one thing about him. How he perceives himself and his achievements. Praise is ignored, criticism is picked apart like a beloved scab. He manages to always find the dark cloud behind the silver lining. It breaks my heart. The psychologist sessions were supposed to help with this, but he seem to have endured these rather than have taken anything positive from them.

I have taken a lot from your comment and will ensure that we don't let the "whys" get lost in the "whats".
