This does happen. Some people are kin to give others advice, but don't fix their own challenges. Others have underlying subconconcious motives when giving you advice. The trick is to ask the right advice from the right person. Not all people want to have a better relationship with their ex, and are happy without them. "But what is one man's happiness is another man's depression." How do you like that trick on an old famous quote? The key is to ask advice from the people who are knowledgeable in what it is you are trying to achieve. If you are asking someone who is not responsible enough to adhere to the advice they should be giving to themselves, whose fault it is really? Don't worry I fell into this trap too. However demeaning this may sound, this truthfully means we are also not being responsible enough to seek advice from the right resources. (Hmmm... maybe I should adhere to my own advice... lol, I just realized a major area of my life that I sought out answers for from the wrong resources-imagine that.)
