For example when he is having a family problem with his son who lives in another state, and i told him maybe his son needs to see someone because maybe somthing is going on at home and you live in a whole other state so that could be affecting him also so we should figure a way for you to keep in contact with him more. Another example is well he is a marine that got out about 4 years ago amd he is very smart and he will sometimes get into moods where he gets down so i will hear him out and then try to keep his mind off of what he is thinking about and have him get out and do things but sometimes that seems to just make it worse sometimes.
