Dealing with a situation where a friend decided to take action in helping another friend with his overdramatized gambling issues. However, this friend who I will call “A” is quickly getting frustrated that his advice is not effective nor is wanted by friend “G”. You can picture this as a “r/wowthanksimcured” type issue as friend A doesn’t understand the possibility of deeper issues at play. Friend A is further redirecting his anger that his “advice” isn’t effective at G who is rightfully already frustrated by the unwanted attention. I’m siding with G on this issue as he has been taking forward strides in the past weeks and I understand that he needs to do this himself so he can respect himself better. How could I best defuse this issue without exposing friend G personal struggles and not giving friend A the kinda deserved middle finger?
