I was trying to offer assistance and information so that those participating in this thread about an important though sensitive topic could do so within the site guidelines. It looks like I missed the mark. Sorry.
I have this pesky habit of offering advice or help when it's not been asked for. It probably comes from having to do a lot of caretaking as a child, but who wants to know that? So perhaps I misinterpreted what was in play here and used the wrong approach to try to help. It occurs to me that the appropriate use of "I-statements" has been well-covered elsewhere, so adding to that discussion wasn't very effective.
At any rate, thanks to those who helped me remember why I should work on that pesky habit. Though it may not be apparent all the time, trust that I will remember the lesson and will strive to modify my behavior accordingly.
