My good friend is leaving her husband. She got a degree before they married which he supported her through and is paying loans for and she had planned to do this career field. They ended up getting married and because it was hard to get a job in this career field without extra training, she ended up never working. They had multiple kids and her husband pressured her to get a job especially because the job market opened up a lot. She did not want to work and wanted to be with her kids. She was frustrated because he wanted to be the stay at home parent. Once the pandemic hit, they had to homeschool and she got hooked on homeschooling. She was always not wanting to vaccinate but they couldn’t put the kids in school without vaccinating. Her husband felt after a few years, the kids weren’t making their milestones and vaccinated them behind her back and put them in school. She is extremely upset and betrayed. She will not get a job and will not speak to her husband for the past 6-8 months. He now wants a separation as well. I encourage her to get therapy and a job to support herself, but she refuses and lives in a state of constant grief mixed with anger. I try to have an open mind, but this is so extreme and I don’t understand being so against vaccination you would breakup your family over it. I have severe autoimmune disease and I shouldn’t get vaccinated, but I do and end up getting sick for months and have huge set backs in my disease because I am afraid others won’t vaccinate themselves or children and I also just truly believe in vaccines. I need perspectives and advice on how to help my friend emotionally.
