OneArt... yup... I get it... if you weren’t the one living it, you’d certainly not believe it.
The comment about him and the drugs is insane. Unbelievable. We’ve talked a lot about control, and sometimes when they throw these assanine ideas out there, I do think it’s their attempt to exert control. Yup... you thought of everything One, but I’m gonna one-up you by suggesting D take these because I have all the answers and I will always know more than you. Maybe??
That, or he’s just an alien living in his Teflon coated universe where the whole world revolves around him and yet he is not responsible for anything. << oh boy can I relate to that all too well.
As I was reading your update, I actually thought of the same thing job suggested. He clearly doesn’t know what he wants, but if you ask him if he wants to come back.. you might get an idea. You likely don’t even want to put it out there, but you may find something out. I think of it like empathic listening.. even if you don’t nail it correctly, it opens the door for clearer insight. (Ie: if you were to have a dialogue with someone who was venting to you, you could say, you sound sad because x,y, z. The person could respond with a yes, I am sad or No, I’m actually angry and distressed. Either way you get a deeper clue into what someone is feeling.)
Well, that approach works with “normal” folks... not sure how that that would fly with your h.
Good luck with everything One... as always you still to eminate strength.
