Dear Amy: My husband and I own a small family business, but we don’t run the day-to-day operation.
My husband and I own a small family business, but we don’t run the day-to-day operation.
So, after consulting counselors and a lawyer through this ordeal, we have decided that we must let him go.I feel horrible that it has come to this, as he is also going through a messy divorce. He is obviously quite taken aback and is distant from us, even though I think he realizes that this is ultimately his own doing.
My heart is torn and aching, but we had the other employees to consider and the viability of our company.Dear Distressed: Affirm your love and support and let him know that you are in his corner as he gets through this challenging time. Continue to reach out to him, even if his reaction is subdued. Invite and include your son and grandchildren in family events.
