Your Question:
How do I tell my family I'm losing everything?
Answer:
I can relate to the struggles you're facing with your family. As a pastor and a father of two, I've seen firsthand the challenges that come with balancing work, relationships, and personal growth. If I were to advise you on how to tell your family that you're losing everything, I would say that honesty and vulnerability are key. It's essential to be open and transparent with your loved ones about the difficulties you're facing, rather than trying to hide or deny them. As Diane's passage suggests, it's often the mom who takes the lead in keeping the family close, but I believe it's crucial for both parents to be involved in this process. When I'm struggling, I find comfort in sharing my concerns with my wife, Susan. We work together to find solutions and support each other through tough times. When you're facing a crisis, it's essential to have a united front with your partner and to communicate openly with your children. If you're struggling to tell your family that you're losing everything, consider starting with a conversation about your feelings and concerns. Use "I" statements to express your emotions and avoid blaming or accusing others. For example, "I'm feeling overwhelmed and struggling to keep up with our expenses" rather than "You're not helping me with the finances." This approach can help your family understand your perspective and work together to find a solution.
