In our conversation last night, my husband and I talked about the amount of free time he has...his boredom. We have talked about some job opportunities and some training opportunities, but we know those don't happen immediately.
This is going to sound kinda cruel but in the meantime, we agreed that we would write down a list of household chores he can do every day to help keep him moving (instead of watching tv and or turning on the computer). He was agreeable to that, he says he doesn't mind doing that stuff but doesn't always think of doing those things. He is a little scatter-brained sometimes.
I am hopeful that the counseling can help him to see the value of what he does do. It does mean a lot to me and our home...and yes, I am hopeful that he can ultimately find a job. It will help in so many ways.
Thank you too for your comments! They were challenging and made me think in some new directions.
