Yeah, my friend has a heart of gold, but has difficulty correctly expressing himself. That has a lot to do with his M issues.
That meeting had the potential to (a) undo all my hard work and (b) get him some "advice" that was not well thought out.
The interesting thing is that my W even told me about it? Not going to get hung up on that, but I have wondered why she would bring it up. Her tone was absolutely calm and did not in any way indicate any hostility towards me (as if I put him up to this). So glad I did not get defensive or she might have thought I was involved.
Hope you are doing well. I had to chuckle at your S's actions, cuz I could see my S doing the same thing in that situation. Don't be too hard on him - he's dealing with a lot too. Just make sure to keep your H off your S's back. I would tell H his choices come with consequences, and while S may not have properly expressed his emotions ( ), his emotions are not a surprise given the circumstances. They come from the fact he loves his father and sees that R crumbling.
