Thank you for asking
.
He is doing fine. He turns eleven in three days and is quite excited about that.
Oddly, he's never shown a real emotional reaction to his older brother's antics.
He's quite a diplomat, and hasn't treated Jim in a negative way, even when he's done quite appalling things. Part of that I'm sure, is brotherly love, which goes both ways with those two. (Believe me, I'm thankful for that).
A few days after this latest chapter started two weeks ago, Chris & I were chatting while on our way to the pool. I was *checking in* with him to see how he was doing emotionally.
He indicated to me that the topic of his brother and all the chaos had gotten quite boring. I agreed with him and asked him to please remind me if I bring it up on a too-frequent basis, as there are plenty of more interesting topics to discuss. He smiled, and agreed.
