Yeah, that's the question, isn't it? Why did he tell me this?
I see him again tomorrow, and I'm going to try to cover these aspects of the situation:
1. This situation puts me in a bind where I feel like there is no appropriate response I can give. I either keep my reaction from him, or I feel like I'm making this discussion of his tragedy all about me. We need to negotiate something more workable from that.
2. Explain what my immediate reaction was (dissociation/shock followed by depression)
3. What was his thinking around deciding to
tell me all of this?I'll let you guys know how it goes. I appreciate your help. I would have exploded if I hadn't had someone to talk this through with.
