Why offer help?

Again I have offered help to my loved one in a moment of stress and need yet have received nothing but hostility. When this happens it really does once again make you question why you bother, but if you keep a calm head and remind yourself the situation that they are in is stressing them our to the point of being unreasonable, you can stand back and let it go. This does not not always help with the pain that can be caused by this type of behaviour though.
