[quote=Anonymous]Hobbies aren't important, but connection is. My DH isn't into team sports, but he's into art. He shares that with the kids and reads to them. He takes them out individually and together to the movies, for hiking/biking, just chatting, etc. Sometimes they bond over card games, movies or TV shows. The topic isn't important. It's a Dad's presence that matters. Your DH needs to be available to listen and guide them. He needs to show that he loves them and that they matter in his life. Maybe he's depressed but he shouldn't be withdrawn. He needs to reemerge as the leader/role model he has to be -- he can't just recede into his own little world.[/quote]
