Don't know how to help overworked, stressed DP

DP's stressed, overworked, frustrated and <I think> sad.

He's juggling two jobs, one of which is his own company.
His commute used to be fairly reasonable and is now an absolute nightmare.
His business partner is a rude, cantankerous control freak who treats DP like a direct report.

I can't help him.
I already shoulder more than my fair share of the domestic stuff which I'm happy to do.
I've offered to help him out where I can <which is basically nowhere because we work in such different fields>

DP's planning on trying to move to a job closer to home in the next 3-5 years. He's currently positioning himself for that but it takes time.
That will help if it all works out.

But I feel deflated and useless not being able to help him. I actually think it's all really, really getting him down but he hasn't said that.

Sorry, I don't really know what the point of my post is. I just had to vent a little bit.
