I've tended to be someone that people talk to about their problems, I think mainly because I tend to be very nonjudgmental. And I try to just listen and empathize rather than give advice or solve their problems for them. There have been a few times lately where I've said something to my H, daughter, or someone else, and been like, "Oh, I totally sounded like my marriage counselor or my T right there--yikes!" Like recently I said to my H about something, "I wouldn't have been surprised if you'd been upset about that--and that would have been OK." The second part of that sentence was totally MC.
