Hugs back, darling. And I'm not against men or anybody crying, but he should't be dumping it on you. (and I'm not referring to tears of grief) If a kid frustrates a parent to tears, then that parent needs to go off by themselves or vent to their partner or another adult. Kids need their parents to keep it together, or else they'll try to parent the parent and that way much dysfunction lies.

Take care,

Laurie
