Update:
Hi all,
It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted. We moved into our new home, it does need cosmetic work and some remodeling, but a lot of that can be done over time. However, H isnt happy about that, but he’s steadily doing the work. We’ve had some calm times and some good times, with few blow outs. The kids are settling into school again which is good.
However, today, I knew something was off with him. I finally asked him this evening if something was upsetting him. And he spewed. How unhappy he was, how he’s doesn’t want to be here, he’s back in the same situation, he has no career prospects here, he’s an outsider in my side of the family (not true), why didn’t I try to be more positive after we moved, blame, blame, blame. I pretty much just stood there and listened. I knew there wasn’t anything I could say that would make a difference. So I left to get my oldest at his friends house and the friends mom happens to be one of my best friends, so I stayed to have a nice chat. I came home and he’s still in a frosty, foul mood. And he’s been talking to his family on text all day. So I have no idea what they’re saying to him. But I get [censored] on because he doesn’t want to look within himself for the answers.
One concerning thing that does keep popping up is that he’s had some panic moments, and expressed he’s heard into a depression. What do I do? How do I help? I think he needs professional help.
