"Paradox of the responsible adult":
advocate or companion says exactly same as patient: former listened to, latter barely acknowledged/too articulate to need help or support.
Suddenly begins to feel like invalidated, ignored, infantilised,or spoken-at by professionals - irrespective of needs, urgency, complexity, education, age, or life experience.

Always the same issue with advocacy and experiencing same 'paradox of the responsible adult', no matter how old or educated.

You're likely holding/sucking/hitting one right now.
A vape.
An e-cigarette..
Juul, battery, AC vent, nic stick, vape'n'gape... Whatever you call yours, it's a binky, but with nicotine for your insufferable adult baby ass.
