[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gently suggest that he find a professional he can talk to because you want to help, but it's obvious you aren't actually making a difference. That's what I would say to your sibling, but I'm a hypocrite because I'm in a similar situation and I grit my teeth and listen. [/quote] I'd let him rant for a while, then ask him what he's planning to do about it. If he just goes back to self-flagellation (which is a kind of excuse-making -- he blames himself and says its hopeless, and that way he doesn't have to do any of the work of fixing anything), then suggest that he needs professional help because clearly talking to you is not helping him make anything better, and you're not really equipped to provide advice. Repeat ad nauseam. [/quote]
