These pictures while very important really bother me. I see a father that can’t provide for his family, is beyond ashamed and there is no one to listen or able to help. It’s all on him and there are no solutions. There is a quiet burden a real man and husband has for his family, and not meeting that need is a true, deep misery of the soul only the man knows. He can’t even convey it. And it eats him away, every day. What else is the family to do but trust and follow? And look to him. He grasps at straws, knowing that nothing is working out, everyone has their own problems and no one cares. He has to look at his wife and wonder if she still has confidence in him, loves him any longer or if she is still hanging on because there aren’t any other options. All the hope that was there on the wedding day is gone, it’s just day to day coping and hoping. And that works on him even more. I see these pictures and just see pain, and know that even worse is coming: WW2.
