 Emotional Support for Stress Hi, I just wanted to ask an advice how I could give emotional support to my step father. He is going through a very tough time dealing with problems in his business and, staying with my family last weekend, I realized that his stress is not only taking a toll on his emotional balance, but on the entire family. I understand that he has to go through whatever he has to go through, and I love him just fine the way he is, but I also know how important emotional support is when one is going through difficult time. I am also concerned about intruding in his personal life. I don't want to make it uncomfortable, but I want to let him know that I care and that I am there for him. What do people do?

| Have you actually asked him if there is anything you can do to support him or the rest of the family. It varies for different people / situations but talking about it is a good starting point Alison |

| It's often the best way to ask people what we can do directly as often they come up with things that we don't even consider. Alison |
