I don't even know what to say. I know it doesn't help, but I'm just speechless.
The most charitable thing I can say is that perhaps he had major surgery on his vacation, and was not yet totally out of anasthetic.
Are you sure he meant it in that context? My therapist has used that horrible phrase, but only in the most general sense of saying that sometimes we just had to suck things up in order to function. And while I made him sorry he ever said it, I know he meant it in a caring way.
As someone who has done nothing but disappoint lately at work, and who has been hearing noises about having things taken away from me, I really do appreciate how horrible it feels. It rarely goes as badly as I think, but it feels horrible anyway. I'll be thinking of you.
