Good question. He at times can be very supportive, but when he's not, he is definitely not. I left him a message this a.m. to try to patch things up. Not surprisingly enough, he is going to punish me a while or maybe forever for my transgressions. IOW, he did not return the call and who knows if he ever will. You'd think him with his smoking addiction might understand, but no. It's all about MY addictions.
