I have a friend who I have been talking with and he is having a really hard time getting over a situation with his ex, as well as he has some anger towards his best friend. Long story, but I assure you that the two are interrelated.
I have been talking with him to help him, but he can't seem to get past the anger. He normally is pointing the anger towards himself and blaming himself for things they did... when I point out that they DID the things, and it's not his fault.. at least not in the way he is blaming himself.. then he gets uncontrollably angry and has some very not nice thoughts.
This person is very dear to me, and I would like to help him. He has been in a bad place and he doesn't have a lot of people he can trust, so I don't feel comfortable with just walking away... sooo... what can I do?
Any ideas on things I can say to him to help him take his thoughts in a different direction and to help him move on & find new people and experiences that will make him happy?

I am married. He's my ex. No sleeping will be involved - or sex for that matter - between us ever again in the future. We are strictly friends.

Sounds like to me you are doing all you can do by just listening and being a good friend. I recently went through a bad breakup and what got me through it was knowing i had friends i could turn to and talk to, no matter what it was i had to say rubish and real things. They listened and it was my saving grace.
