Feeling he's in MLC, but in D process

Interesting series of calls from H today.

I was supposed to meet up with D23 today, but I seem to have a concussion from my horsey accident yesterday, so I opted out to go lay down at home.

H called and was frustrated, almost upset. We had sat down to go over taxes a week ago and he was very unsure of how to fill out the financial info that he had taken over (our vacation home taxes and interest on loan). Three phone calls. I had to apologize to him...I was a little out of it and fuzzy due to the concussion. I had to explain that it was all on the statements, but for some reason he almost seemed in a panic. I tried to be calming, validating, and helpful, but he was...spinning? I let him go and he went on a rant about taxes and how much he pays and on and on.

He then kept apologizing and telling me how much he hated taxes and accounting and how he appreciated that I did this for him in the past. I just let him go. I told him there was no need to apologize, he could call me whenever he needed to vent; it didn't bother me to listen...never has, never will. He sounded so panicked. I felt so calm (well... head injury, fatigue, duh).

He did briefly ask how I was and if I knew what to do about the concussion...did I google it? LOL. I couldn't resist saying, "Dude. Not my first rodeo." Well, its not!

Really, the tax stuff was all on the statements and even though its the first time he has gotten our personal stuff ready for the accountant, its just not that hard. I'm very worried about him. I'm seeing the MLC is affecting more than just our R. I'm glad I just listened to him go. At least he kept apologizing.
