Support his therapy: If he is not in therapy, encourage him to find a good one that he can trust. If he is, encourage him to use it to it's best advantage or find a better fit. Be compassionate when he feels bad, but don't enable bad behavior by making or accepting excuses. Firm, caring consistent support is all you can do - do not try to be the therapist. It's difficult even with training & experience.
