ortho...

I'm a guy. Your post touches my heart. And it also mashes the hell out of my "I-can-fix-it-button". Like I said, a guy. But I can't fix this for you. I've read in books that listening without fixing is helpful all by itself. I take this on faith. If you are helped by my non-fixing, wonderful. I sure wish I could put a wrench on something though.

And I won't contradict you, oh you're wrong about this and wrong about that... that is kind of insulting, as I don't know your life very well. But I know some stuff and ... shit. now I'm arguing. Sorry.

can't fix.
can't argue.
I'm listening, but that feels passive, ineffectual.

Why don't you just keep talking, and I'll keep listening, hm?
