Thank you for your replies, I have tried giving him space, I've tried talking to him-positivity, I think I will go talk to my bishop. The DF is very new so hopefully the bishop can help me before he goes the wrong direction.
Yep 15 years off and on, he's on meds and therapy. Just had a bad childhood and brings it up every time he feels bad. I've tried the listening he gets upset if I don't converse with him but doesn't link when I try to be positive. 2 edge sword.
I am struggling to support my husband who has been disfellowshipped. He is so down on himself. This is not anything new but now it is so worse. In the past when he gets down I withdraw myself because I'm tired of his negative self talk. It has gone on for 15 years. Now he has been disfellowshipped and the negative talk is toward the church/not having the priesthood, more people that 'know his sin' and all the things that come along with the DI. How can I help him? What can I say that can ease his mind? I'm at a loss. Should I talk to my bishop and let him know?
