My mom is very NT, too. Though she does display some ADD symptoms. But she never understood my dad. And he never understood her. I think my dad's second marriage was much more suited to him. My mother is utterly the creative type. My father was the utterly logical and ne'er the twain shall meet. But Donna, his second wife, she's as left-brained as they come. Though NT enough to have brought him out of his shell a bit. She was a bit of the mothering type as well. I think he needed that. Despite his age, he never really grew up.
