My gorge husband is currently having a really really hard time, and I am wondering if anyone can offer me advice on how to support him. His Dad left when he was young, kept in touch, let him down a lot but kept building him back up in between. It's come to a bit of a head recently and he has decided that to protect his own feelings/happiness he needs to cut ties (he hasn't said whether for good or just for a bit). This is the first time he's been in control of it all, which I know makes him feel better, but he is struggling with the emotion and magnitude.
He is talking to me about it but I don't feel I'm helping him very much. Anyone been through similar? Or any wise owls out there who can help me?
Thanks all.
