Hi Rohag,

Thanks for the suggestion and acknowledging my situation. After reading the article, it does make me wonder if I need to communicate my disagreements in a different way. The article suggests to "[h]ave empathy for their situation but [not to] blindly go along with all their negative comments and beliefs."

I've spoken with some of our friends since I began this thread, and it sounds like they are on board with speaking to him with me. I just worry about being too pushy. Everyone has urged him to seek counseling/therapy for years, and he is the type of person that will resist the more you push him to do something.

Therapy may not be right for now, but I have suggested to him to make an account on PC to make use of the forums and articles. He didn't really respond, but I at least planted the seed.

Thanks for listening. I really appreciate it.
