"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.

When somebody provides a valid constructive criticism against something, wether generally speaking or in an argument, and then the other party, either who the criticism was directed towards or somebody who affiliates themselves with the critiqued party, responds to the criticism with a response which completely disregards everything the critic said and tries to offend and / or shut up the critic.
