Student update

Posted by nubby Aug 12 '10, 16:42

As a representative of the university, I feel a responsibility to encourage him to use the campus Counseling and Psychological Services. Free mental health is kind of a great opportunity. But the poor guy told me he really has no one to talk to. I can't help but just feel awful for the guy.

I worked with a woman similar to his wife - amoxy Aug 12, 16:56
I really feel for the kids. They need help understanding what happened but the dad can't be there for them. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Aug 12, 16:47 8
- Actually, I don't think they know. - nubby Aug 12, 16:49 7
  - I hope he has the balls to tell her to get lost - amoxy Aug 12, 16:53 3
    - From what he's said, which isn't much... - nubby Aug 12, 16:56 2
      - Oh crap. Damn -- nm - amoxy Aug 12, 16:56 1
        
        it's just the denial stage. he'll move on i'm sure. (poor guy and poor kiddos) -- nm - kare Aug 12, 17:03
  - Oh, that's terrible. Better if she had stayed away. Forever, even. - Mop (221 lbs) Aug 12, 16:51 2
    - She's got to get her act together for her kids. No matter what goes on with her and the husband. -- nm - the liioulu with extreme heat warning Aug 12, 17:00
    - I'll probably know more next week. - nubby Aug 12, 16:55
If the situation weren't so real, it would sound like this guy was primed for one of those "no, I'm straight" movies. -- nm - Max Aug 12, 16:44 2
- What the hell is a "No, I'm straight" movie? My Own Private Nubbah-ho? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 16:46 1
  - I prefer to think of them as myth, but some around here could probably tell you. -- nm - Max Aug 12, 16:47
I bet he's in shock, and has more people to talk to then he think.s -- nm - Inigo Aug 12, 16:44 4
- I think nubby used the word "humiliated" in describing the man's state of mind, which may keep him from talking to those closest to him. - Mop (221 lbs) Aug 12, 16:50 1
  - Yeah, that was his word. - nubby Aug 12, 16:50
- Agreed. But people will start to take sides - amoxy Aug 12, 16:48 1
  - Oh, I'm sure. That'll be rough if it happens, but I'd guess more people would just be a friend to him, and listen. -- nm - Inigo Aug 12, 16:52
