Wow... that's quite a compliment, considering that this whole chapter consists of 3 phone conversations....
Seriously, though, this:
I almost think he was going to ask Ellen's advice on the boys, but then decided against it. Next stop...Bobby. And I think the conversation between Bobby and John sounded authentic.
Bobby is as much a wuss as John is.
is exactly what I was trying to convey. That and John's conflict over how culpable he is in contributing to all the boys' problems. So, glad that rang true!
