Good to know you're back, Artemis; nobody else would have done such a thorough "analysis and criticism" job on my "work". So glad I didn't provide you with "Seven Types of Ambiguity" though; you'd be still commenting!
I can NOW see that my expression there is a bit ambivalent. With tongue in cheek, I was implying the latter of your interpretations!

Sam, I hope your tea afternoon with your friend went well.
It went as I knew it would. We talked a lot and she revealed more of the stress and anxiety she experiences living with her mentally sick son. It makes me feel useless as I really don't feel I can help when she tells me his aggression, pettiness and vindictiveness drive her to despair. I can only listen. However, she assures me it helps, so I'm pleased for that.
However, she assures me it helps, so I'm pleased for that.
And so you should be. I believe that having somebody there to listen to your "pain", perhaps in some detail, is the most comforting thing a human being can have. I don't think medics have the time or, perhaps, even the inclination to do that. You're there for her when she needs you; that's the greatest gift you can offer her. This, I'm sure, gives her the help she needs to continue supporting her son. His own psychiatrist is the only person who can, hopefully, help him "chemically". You, in effect, offer emotional support to both and that's invaluable. So, chin up.

Meanwhile this gift keeps on giving....
