A good place to start is making sure he notices every time he does something that directly improves your day. Simple, just let him know it cheered you up! Then you can try to start casually mentioning it when he's patient with cashiers, janitors, other drivers, etc. Things like that can seem like the most basic things in the world, but are usually the first to go when we're feeling frustrated or sad.

I'm sure you already know this, but you could probably both benefit from professional treatment in your new state if that's practical. You can start here if money is an issue.

And never doubt that I'm proud of you both. Setting out early is hard, I know firsthand, and you're doing better than I could have hoped for in a tough world. Let me know if I can ever do anything else to help.

Hey there, I'm a dad with three grown kids, so I'd be glad to offer you my perspective.

One of the things that astounds me is how very different all three of them are, and I'm sure the same is true for your siblings. Your dad doesn't want another copy of your brother, he loves and appreciates you for who YOU are. Your bride is a dreamboat and your kids are awesome. You've got a good marriage that you're committed to. That was you. And by the way, your brothers wonder the things about you. "How does he do it? He makes it look so easy." Take credit for that, especially knowing how many horror stories we see on Reddit.

I love how you stick with your workouts, even though you don't really see the benefit. What does the Mrs. think about your shape? Oh, and stop comparing the whole picture of your life with your brothers' highlight reels. They have troubles and concerns and demons of their own.

Finally, work and money. This can be improved by studying and working together in the home. The folks at /r/personalfinance are a great asset. Download and read "The Richest Man in Babylon" and think about how you might take his advice and start with a small consistent change as the first step. Finally plan the next step in your career/work. What job will come next, when,how will you do that? Ask for a raise if you deserve it.

This little slump feeling can be a temporary feeling or a permanent state of being. You're the master and commander, and your dad and I have confidence and faith in you.

This was a gift fit my best friend after Two generations of all boys. https://www.amazon.com/Daring-Book-Girls-Andrea-Buchanan/dp/0062208969/ref=asc_df_0062208969/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312693971719&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2914220040867239666&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvde... it’s a great book. It may take her a while for her to read it but you can enjoy it until then.

I get bumps as well when I shave. There are facial hair removal creams. I prefer to just keep a well trimmed beard to using the creams.

(Note: a good mechanic will plug into the system diagnostics to do the same as the following, but not all shops have the diagnostics information for all vehicles)

In addition to all this good advice, drop a few dollars on an OBDII reader. I use a BlueDriver

This particular one reads all system codes. You plug it in, open the app on your phone, link the reader to your phone, and turn in the car. You then tell the app to scan for codes and it scans all system modules — ABS, transmission, engine, etc.

There’s a lot of codes that don’t throw a dash light and this can show you what recent issues have popped up. For example, on a suburban I’m working on, it’s exposed a bad ABS sensor (intermittent issue), a bad oil pressure sensor (reads low), and a recurring misfire.

The bluedriver app also suggests fixes and even shows amazon links for parts so you can check prices.

Note that there are cheaper ones out there that do a lot of the same and can help no matter what.

One reason I suggest this and taking the vehicle to a mechanic is that using an OBDII reader right off can help you avoid wasting time on a car with major issues that the owner has been able to obscure through other means.
