YES - I feel that, well said :)
Aww, well I totally get a preteen son wanting his mom and dad together. Both of my parents were in marriages and had kids before they got together and I've seen that exact thing in their other kids' feelings back then. Both of my parents were that "Matt" character, knowing what they were getting into when the kids were young... but as the kids age and become young adults, like Dinah was when she came back to SF in 95, I think it's hard on that person (Matt). You can't expect perfection, but you also shouldn't put up with that kid coming in and trying to seduce you and breaking up your relationship. Then you have a son who wishes his father was still with his mother and Matt can't be blamed for that. I thought Matt handled this well for the most part, but I can't blame any characters' feelings. This makes for good soap opera though and hits close to home now that I actually think about things from 30+ years ago haha. Dang, maybe I just had a good self-therapy session thinking through this haha.
LOL at the bolded part. And then awwww at Josh playing cupid for Van/Billy in the end! I need to go watch that, I love to hear it.
