Please tell me

07.11.2003

What do you do when a close friend is miserable because of a specific situation? What do you do when you have to watch an emotional train wreck, daily? What do you do when someone you care for has his heart shredded to ribbons in a manure spreader, daily? What should you say?

I guess nothing. I guess you're supposed to just bite your lip and say nothing.

I'm sorry. I just had enough of watching train wrecks.

I wonder if it is a question of 'what should you say'. Maybe the real question is, will he or she listen to what you say and make use of it? If not, then biting your lips and feeling sad is probably the only option I can give you (or the only option I know). If he or she is willing to listen, then say what is bothering you, try to give respectful advice. Well ...my two cents on that.
