I was forced to take a Landmark seminar one time, and they call this running a "Racquet". It is how you gain control and manipulation of something-one of the main symptoms is complaining to someone who can do nothing about it.
The rules are Helmut's racquet-he gets sympathy and control bitching to you about it. He purposefully doesn't bitch to anyone who can actually effect change because he is getting a payoff out of running this racquet on you.
I don't know if this helps one iota, but I'd love it if sometime you told him you knew this was a "racquet" he's running on you and he should tell someone who make changes.
It's time. After the exchange we just had (in which he's behaving like a child who would rather cry and throw away all of his toys rather than clean his room), I have HAD IT.
I'm so furious right now that I feel like I should just walk out.
Considering that I just entered "one more thing" mode... probably quite soon... and probably quite intensively. The last time I entered "one more thing" mode, I think I wound up giving notice within a month.

Actually, minus the foul language, I've said everything in my "letter" directly to him.
