[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He calls me every few months and keeps me on the phone for hours talking about how awful he is, how he can never get better, etc. I try to be supportive by always answering the phone and making suggestions on how he can try to improve his situation, but he really just wants to argue with me and tell me how hopeless he is and how much of a jerk i am for suggesting otherwise. [/quote] I'd also deal with it by advising that he seek counseling. Clearly, giving he's not really seeking your advice. Him: "I'm awful, and I can never get better." You: "I disagree. I think your situation can improve. I'll always love you. But I can't be your counselor--you need to talk to an expert who's outside of the family."[/quote]
