It was my aunt who died. (We weren't really close, but it sure adds to my feeling of being cursed or doomed or bad luck.) His problems were financial. Well that's not totally fair, there was an emotional component to them too.
And since he said he hadn't had access to the internet, to be fair he probably received the info at the same time he received my email and was still very much affected by it.
But yes, you're right about the shift. But he doesn't even feel like a very good friend at the moment, never mind a therapist.
I hope we can work things out. Perhaps he's as bad in the written word as he is on the phone, and is only competent in person. Perhaps he promised more than he could properly deliver, in giving me his email address.
Perhaps he's just a selfish incompetent idiot.
Ok, maybe I shouldn't have said the last. But I thought it best to give expression to the full range of my thoughts. From "I'm being a dreadful nuisance and that's why he's responding this way." to "He's a selfish incompetent idiot."
Sigh.
