prosperity,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- you asked, in part: "So how do I respond when someone who is always ill, is always telling me the lastest symptoms, medications, pains, etc."
- frankly, if you were asking me this question directly (that is, in person, and I was not your therapist) I might feel as if you were trying (knowngly or not) to drag me into the relationship as some sort of buffer or mediator or??
- have you given some thought to your "needs" in maintaining this relationship??
- by the way, what is the nature of your relationship to this person?? Blood relative? Other relative?? Friend?? To some extent, the type of relationship can help guide one in how to deal with what are, at least in part, 'communication' issues (both ways, it seems)
