Dad got laid off with USAID program cuts, worried about him
My dad (60) got laid off last week after USAID cut funding for his program. Then, to make things worse, he fractured his leg this week. So now he’s stuck in bed while trying to finish his handover work. I called him earlier, and he sounded really down. He said he’s okay, but I know he’s not. Money is obviously going to be tight since my mom is already retired and he was the main breadwinner. On top of that, my parents’ marriage has been bad for a while, and I have no idea if both of them being home all the time is going to make things worse. I want to be there for him, but he’s been really distant. Maybe its a masculinity issue, maybe it’s just a dad thing, but I feel like he does not want to show he is struggling or maybe he isn't idk. I'm stressed asf because i am about to graduate, the job market sucks, and my anxiety has been through the roof. But mostly, I just keep worrying about my dad and don’t know how to help.
For anyone who’s been in a similar situation—how do I support him? How do I get through to him when he won’t really talk about it?
