Don't be so hard on yourself. There are many times that I've read a post and didn't have the foggiest idea how to comfort the person. Some people just go ahead and say, "I have no idea what to say, but I wanted you to know I care." Sometimes advice isn't even wanted. Sometimes people just need the human contact. I know I do.
As for your friend with the gay son, there really isn't much you CAN do for him, other than be there. Its something he'll have to get his mind around himself.
You are much too hard on yourself Verne. You are an intelligent, caring person and you deserve happiness. I even like your drunk posts because it means I'm not the only one doing it! ;-)
