Most of my life I have been an attentive, giving and generous man. At 60, I'm surprised at how self-centered have become.

I became a dad at 43, not what I expected, and it is softening me in ways I always hoped for, and never thought I'd see. My family's rage problem has to stop with me, he can't see it.

    That's a hell of a thing to dive into and grab hold of: it cannot be successfully white-knuckled forever and you actually have to get to the root cause of it. Not impossible, not at all, but definitely uncomfortable. Worth it, though. You have my sincere respect.
