This is one of the questions I answered as a free service:
Question:
Last year my husband lost everything in the commodities exchange market.
I'm talking hundreds of thousands...; a year later and we are in the midst of foreclosure.
He can't get a job. I'll soon return to work as a bank teller but we live from hand to mouth with four kids.
He is different now: my once best friend looks at me like he hates me and resents me and the kids. Today he told me he wants to leave.
Dr. Joe's Reply:
Men are simple creatures due to their single minded circuit that can hold STATUS as the only meaningful component. Sex, money, position, recognition or mussels are, for many men, the tools to build status.
Once they loose their main way of achieving STATUS, most men are either motivated to get an alternative, or they withdraw (the fight or flight tendency).
Since there is no ‘cook book’ answer, ‘to do list’ or a ready made Q-A type of response to your and your husband's current situation, I do not see good chances of recovery without involving a professional help.
It is my assumption and advice that your husband would benefit from a structural professional counseling method that would strengthen confidence, build empowerment, manage stress and teach how to re-built vocational skills that allow to excel in an alternative field.
