[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He'll handle it on his own terms. As you have realized correctly, it's an internal struggle. The fact that he handled Thanksgiving so well is a huge positive. Just be present. He'll let you know if he needs your support as all of us are different. I personally don't want to talk to my DH about my difficult mother at all as his "advice" is completely useless at best and irritating at worst. [/quote] Can you tell me more about the useless and irritating things? I want to avoid this for sure.[/quote] Don't try to talk him through it or try to make this easier. That is really about your discomfort in seeing him down. He has to feel the feelings to heal. Just be there and listen and hold him, if he wants that.[/quote]
