I know this might be out of my business, but he is someone I care a LOT.He is in his 2nd marriage and I think for what he has told me that he´s happy. The thing is he has 2 kids of 13 and 10 years old from his previous marriage and the kids visit him 2 times a year. For Xmas and summer (sometimes). He is also raising the 16 year old son of his 2nd wife who lives with them. He had showed pictures of them in Myspace and I noticed he´s a loving father and it catch my attention that the kids only takes pics with him and no wife and stepbrother. I think his main issue is with his daughter right now, b/c this last visit they did to him was a bit bittersweet. I feel something happened there since the girl has taken him from myspace top friends and just left her mom and she placed several comments not having a good time with Dad.I called him 2 weeks ago and I guess he didn´t want to share any details of quarrels with them and instead said they had a good time and I just congratulated him for his kids and he should be proud of them. he said he is and he said "They are good kids". His daughter still says she´s hurt and I think the quarrel is with stepbrother for what she comments. How or what should I do at least to make him feel better and tried to make him see his kids are the most important people in his world, or at least that´s the way it should be? Help please!

 I am sure this is not what you want to hear but from the sound of things... you need to stay out of his issues. It sounds like you CARE ALOT about him and that sounds like your feelings are not appropriate.
I know you mean well but he's married and its really his problem and his wifes problem, not yours. Best thing if you really want to help is to pray for him and stay out of it.
