[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 589850, member: 84"] He needs some way to work off his anxiety/frustration that is constructive and doesn't involve you. How about a work out video or something? As for a therapist, he needs to check out county mental health, they either provide low cost treatment or know who does in the area. (it's not just based on income, they also factor in your bills ect) I think the only way you will be able to get him to stop relying on you so heavily (which is NOT healthy for him, as I'm sure you know) is to refuse to discuss such things with him.....if that means needing to hang up on him if he won't stop, then that may be what it means. As long as he can lean on you to such a degree there is no reason for him to really seek outside relationships. He can fill you in on details without talking your ear off about the subject. Know what I mean?? Not to mention this is just too much for you. You deserve to be able to go about your life and activities in peace. And he really needs to sever the apron strings or you need to do it for him. It's a stressful time for him, but he needs to realize that he needs to find other ways to deal with it. Hugs [/QUOTE]
