My DB lives hundreds of miles from me. He has had a very dyfunctional childhood subjected to alcohol abuse and domestic abuse of our DM by his DF (not mine).
He is damaged goods and he admits this.
Tonight he has phoned me in tears-his marriage is in tatters. He lives for his girls and doesn't want to split as being away from his DD's is his worst nightmare. he does everything for them and is aware that should him and hai DW split it is likely she will get residency. I don't know what to do for him.
He does need counselling about his childhood but l also think him and my DSIL need marriager guidance from relate (if she will go).
I have suggested that if she won't go (and l won't hold my breathe) that he goes alone. I don't know how to access this or if it is a different type of counsellor he needs about his childhood issues.
I feel helpless being so far away and am desperatly worried about him.
Can anyone give me any advice that l can pass onto him
