suppose your gf/bf is facing many family problems and is
constantly under intense pressure, stress and unhappiness.
for example, parents no longer on talking terms, parents in the
process of divorce, or a delinquent younger sibling causing the
family stress and shame.
how can you help him/her out in such situation? keeping in mind
that this is not a 'one-off' situation where he/she will only feel
depressed for a while.
it is long term and long lasting, and frankly, i dunno what else i
can do besides listening and offering some form of emotional
support..
