On one hand, I don't know...Wow, babe, that's tough. On one hand, I don't know if there is much you can do about him not liking NY. On the other hand, you made the decision together, and there may be some things you can talk to him about that will help. <BR/><BR/>My Dad never adjusted to Atlanta when we moved from up North. It was because he never acclimated himself. I had a really hard time and even a bit of depression when we moved to Asheville. He really has to make an effort to make friends, find places he likes to go, to really get invested in the area. Maybe his MS is limiting his ability to do this, and that's the root of the problem.<BR/><BR/>I think that what he said that sounded so harsh, about being alone, was only meant to give you the total depth and breadth of his unhappiness overall. He realized after the fact that it was awfully strong, and maybe not the best way to phrase what he really meant- that he's coming out of his skin with misery.<BR/><BR/>In the end, though, his happiness is mostly his responsibility. You can lead a horse to water....<BR/><BR/>*hugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
