I'm there with you at 35, sir. My father too suffered through his emotions from his time in Vietnam, having to keep it all down. My girlfriend tells me the one differing factor between me and all of the other men she's dated is that I express my emotions, and I'm not afraid to talk about them. However she's warned me not to let that show around her father because he will react critically. It's healthy to open up and express emotions. It's a shame we're just now, with this youngest generation, beginning to truly realize that.
