Please help?

RE: Please help?
I think CL nailed it, this guy sounds like a fixer. Fixers don't maker good listeners. They only catch about half of what's said, don't want to share in the emotion(s), cut you off before you're done and then offer the cure. When the cure isn't acted on or accepted they get frustrated and basically say "then why the hell did you tell me in the first place if you don't want my help". They don't get it that just listening can be help enough.

Try communicating with this person in writing and see if it works/helps. They may react better than a verbal conversation. Give them some time to process.

Um.......... guess who is also a fixer.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
