[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 704588, member: 21066"] I think it boils down to him not wanting to be alone right now. He's obviously depressed because his wife left. I can understand why the home he shared with her is painful for him to live in now that they are no longer together. But, it's paid off. I don't know how much work needs to be done on the house. I get the idea the furnace is broken. Is that why he mentioned freezing to death? I don't know how safe kerosene heaters are, but they put out a lot of heat. If he gets a job, having the money to re-decorate the house or remodel it would erase some of the reminders. Of course, that is costly, even for someone who is employed. I think he is feeling a lot of loneliness and anxiety and has become sort of child-like. Some people get like that when they're scared. But, you've been there for him all along. At some point, he has to move back in to his house. It's going to make him remember the good times and bad times with his wife. It will be painful. There are people who can help him get through this. He needs to see a therapist to learn how to handle his loneliness, depression, and anxiety so that he can work towards healing. There are divorce recovery support groups and AA. [/QUOTE]
