Well that didn't go down well. He said that talking to me about this is awful and he's just going to go. And he did. I just feel like such an idiot.
Hi ris, oh sweetie, I'm so sorry to hear you had such a tough conversation with him. I know you're wanting to do nothing but help and support him, and it can be scary when the problems seem so overwhelming and tough to sort out.
You're not an idiot; you're not a horrible unsupportive person. Try not to call yourself names - believe me, I've called myself every name in the book for 42 years and it does nothing but hurt your ability to think. He's under stress, and he's just reacting right now. He likely just needs time to cool down, and think about how he's going to handle his work problem. You don't control his feelings - he does. Try not to take ownership of his unhappy feelings.
Hang in there, and keep posting today. Have to go to an appointment but I'll check in on you later. Take care, FMV.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
