Kindle Notes & Highlights
When convincing anyone to change their point of view, silence was the most important tool. It gave them time to think about what was said, about the implications, hopes, and fears.
Steve sometimes didn’t call for a week, but as far as the kids were concerned, he did the best he could. Damn fathers everywhere, with their double standards. If Steve worked late, only showing up for half an hour to half-heartedly ask the kids how their day was, he was an overworked father making time for his son and daughter. But when Abby went to literally save lives and forgot to call, she was the mother who neglected her children.
an emotion left unspoken was dangerous. He could act on it, not even knowing why.
