But he loves the heck out of all my 3 boys, 23, 17 and 13.
Sorry if I seemed to harsh with your husband. Some of this hits close to home, you know? I'm not trying to undermine your judgement, but I really think your son could use a GOOD father-figure in his life. I think your husband has probably been a good person to them, but still.

Sorry if I came off too condescending, but I'm closer to your son's age than your husband's, so my opinion may be biased.
