The issue re time between visits for me is not so much that the visits weren't frequent as that the frequency had likely -changed- from quite frequent to visits every couple of months -- but I may be wrong there, as I can't find the info for how frequent they used to be prior.
IMO Mark made it quite clear that he resented being so far from his kids. He resented Elaine, the end.. and this is merely speculation (IMO, MOO, lalala) but I can see a man with a quite controlling nature being pizzed about his son becoming not only physically distant, but perhaps a bit emotionally as well (as teens do.. mine's like an alien life form at times, presently..) especially when they had always been "best friends"..
---IF-- MR is in any way responsible for Dylan's death, the powder-keg of family issues might have played into it, is the crux of what I'm saying.
