Welcome to PC.
I am afraid that in that situation it takes time and healing. The best thing you can do is not try to solve his problems but listen to him, validate him, mirror him, accept him as he is, and love him as he is. Those are all very powerful for healing. Also if you can find friends who know how to do the same thing. When someone tells you...."you should do this or you should do that" to fix your problems, they may be trying to be helpful but we take it as invalidating our problem. Healing comes from getting the sense that it is OK to be who we are even though we want to change.
