Jeff’s surprise
Jeff was surprised, but soon showed understanding. “I know Tim is sensitive,” he admitted, with concern on his face. “But I had no idea it was so serious.” His astonishment reflected the shock I had felt myself. We talked more about Tim’s possible feelings and Jeff showed a willingness to get actively involved. I now realized that it was crucial for us to be aligned, offering him support and helping him deal with his emotions.

Brainstorming solutions
Together, we started thinking of ways to help Tim feel more included. “What if we organized father-son weekends?” I suggested, seeing the enthusiasm light up in Jeff’s eyes. “Or maybe special outings just for him?” He immediately agreed, excited by the idea of trying it out. Each proposal seemed to represent a step forward, a way to strengthen family ties. The three of us needed to reconnect and feel the security of a real unit again.
