Wife's in the hospital

It's not that he can't see her for the grown up woman that she is, but he reflects to a time when she needed him to protect & do things for her. A time when Daddy could fix things & make it better. He can't do that right now & that probably is killing him inside. It's hard to let go of that.

I agree with this, I have three daughters and I struggle quite a bit when I can't "fix" things too. It's a sickening feeling inside when you know there is nothing you can do, but you desperately want to. It brings up emotions that are extremely hard to comprehend. I have never had to deal with something like what he and you are going through. Try and be patient with him. Talk with him.

Hang in there Robert.
