Re: Need advice - a bit long

Tina, I think nearly everyone will chime in here to say that for

some reason this dx is hard for dads to take, even if they are

stepdads (and is much more Mark's dad than his sperm donor dad

is, isn't he?) My hubby has been dealing with the dx for almost 2

years and he still is in denial somewhat. If it seems too scary,

then he doesn't want to hear it. Doesn't want to think about what it

might be like in the future. Doesn't want to read books or

articles. He just wants me to deal with all of that. I just keep

giving him more and more time with him and more and more info.

Someday he will come around. My father is just the same. My mom

gets it, my dad thinks I am too easy on him. My parents fight about

this more than Dave and I do. LOL! Just hang in there.

obviously loves Mark and will come around soon. Leggs
