Thanks for sharing this link. I purchased the book and am reading it now.<p>My father and I are both very introverted, and do not share feelings easily. As a result I feel like I have never really known him. I was going through a very difficult time a couple of years ago and I remember sitting with him and sharing my problem - the first time in my life that I had done that with him. It was a really tough thing for me to do, but I was hoping that not only could he offer me some advice, but it would be a way for us to finally have the relationship we never had.<p>Sadly he was not able to respond. He asked some factual questions, and then there was nothing, and he suggested I talk to my mother instead. I was sad that we could not communicate over something like this, but sadder still that I realized that I would never really know him. I don&#x27;t blame him for this, since I recognize so much of him in myself, but I do envy men who are able to have close relationships with their fathers.
