Dottie,
It sounds like your DS didn't just work through that stuff on his own, your DDs helped him see the error of his ways
Maybe I should encourage DD to speak up if she doesn't like what DS is doing. She is very sensitive but she keeps things to herself. I often can tell she is upset but it can take several days for her to reach the point where she feels comfortable telling me what's bothering her. I think she needs a lot of time to process all those feelings and to collect herself so that she won't lose it just over talking about it. I think she is frightened by her own outbursts of "rampant emotionalism."
