Yes, Henry is a fool, but he may not have realized yet. I think he's given up on his children for good, but he'll probably keep trying with Isa. He does love and need her, and I think he was actually looking forward to them being on their own as a couple. This was actually one reason he didn't mind Kristin and Evan leaving to study elsewhere, and it was actually Isa who wanted Russ to stay at home and go to a local college. But more on this later.
