16. 3 major stresses at once
Sat Jun 22, 2013, 06:41 PM

finding out you have a serious health condition, your parent dies, and you just changed jobs....
all three of those things alone would be sources of stress....but at the same time, wow...that would be hard even without the health issues.

You know, you can try to help him, but he really has to want to do it on his own....
see if he will talk to his doctor or maybe he needs grief counseling or whatever kind of counseling.

and since you asked...I would suggest that you let him know that while you appreciate that he is having a difficult time,
it is NOT ok that he is acting this way at home and he needs to do something about it. You have a right to live in peace too.

Blessings to you both. xoxo
