After 18 months - H is finally filing.

[keep_going]

Shoot - My H just got fired...

I was just trying to get caught up reading here when he called...

I have not been on the boards for over a week. Had two very busy and fun weeks with vacation and relatives visiting from my home country. Everyone finally left yesterday, girls are back at school and I was trying to get back to the daily routine.

Then I got the call just 20 minutes ago. H got laid off (we knew this could happen, but he sounds completely shell-shocked.)

He started sobbing, saying how he has no $ (yes, our financial sitch is dire to say the least), and he has three kids to support.

I listened, validated and re-assured him that things will be ok. I told him he is an intelligent, strong, capable man and that he has survived and thrived thru things like this in the past and this time will be no different. I told him to not get overwhelmed and take it one step at a time.

He calmed down and agreed with me.

I then asked if there was anything I could do to help today. He thanked me and said no. We said goodbye.

I don't know if this was good Dbing or not. It just felt like the right thing to to - to my H or any other human being...

My boy just woke up from his nap. I will come back this evening.

I feel like crying myself...
