when he cuts you off or doesn't sound interested, take it as is and don't give him too much detail. It's ok if he's not interested in their daily activities (right now). He's got too much on his plate and doesn't want to add more. Don't take it personal.

However, I'm not saying excuse the behavior.

Imagine you have a very very stressful situation and a friend comes over wanting you to help her move! A healthy person would say, I'm sorry, I have to much going on right now.

A lot of the things WAS do, we take personally. DON'T!
