<p>When your mate is fired (even if the company let two hundred people go the same day), it's a slap in his face, and the impact radiates outward, assaulting,. your sense of security, as well as your hopes and your dreams and your plans. All that was once known and predictable is now upset. From the moment he is fired, your life is dramatically altered.What happens to your routines when your husband is suddenly at home all day, instead of at work? How do you help him when your own fears and worries seem so overwhelming? What will his dismissal mean for your own activities, career or educational plans?There is no way around it: when they fired him, they slapped your face, too. That is the injury. The insult is that nobody seems to notice.The company has probably never acknowledged your contribution to your partner's work, and most likely, no one has even thought about offering assistance to help you cope with the effects of his termination. Most of the attention and sympathy extended by others is directed toward your mate, and there is no doubt he needs that support. Yet few people, perhaps not even you, recognize that his crisis is your crisis. To all intents and purposes, you have been fired, too, but your hurt and confusion are somehow imperceptible. Hence the terrible isolation that so many women feel when they are caught in this situation.</p>
