I'm in the area..what sort of help were you thinking of? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

He just needs someone to talk to. He is having a tough time and needed to call a crisis line last night. He feels pretty alone right now.

Hmm,

I'm afraid that I'll have to decline.

Wrong sex emotional support placement issues for one, if I call he will have my home number for two, and a man who isn't feeling at the height of mental stability having access to me while I am all alone is strike three.

But I think WAT is in the area as well..maybe call him out?

Noodle

I'll definitely talk here if that helps.

Sorry

Absolutely respect your boundaries. You are correct it should be a man. Thank you, Noodle.

WAT, are you reading??

bumping up for WAT?

Ooo, ooo, pick me pick me! I'm in the DC area, have a cell phone number that can't easily be reversed to get my home address, and men aren't a bother to me. They're kinda cute... but not when they're mentally unstable.

E-mail address in the signature.

JJ, U R 2 funny!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

FF, can you post a link to his thread? There are some MBers on the east coast. Got a few down south FL way. I know someone in NC but he may be out on assignment right now. WAT is out that MD/DC way.

Keep this thread current so all can take a look. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Orchid, most of his posts have been in Iville when he was going through a crisis. Here is a link to his posts on JFO know alibis

Believer spoke to him on the phone yesterday, but I am hoping to hook him up with a strong male mb'er in his timezone so he can talk through this. Hugs Orchid, thanks for helping. Just J you are too funny <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

FF,

Just posted on his JFO thread.

Hope he reads it.

Well, I'm in the area, but also female, so that doesn't help.

However, I am wondering how amenable he would be to coming to church? My church is in Severn, so it might be a bit of a drive for him, but...

It tends to be a fairly friendly congregation. I doubt he could get out of the building without having a number of people talk to him. In addition, we have a men's support group that meets at the church, a lot of really strong Christian men he could talk to, and an evangelist on staff who is a counselor.

And our congregation tends to be really big on that - the men supporting the men, women supporting the women. The people there are what has gotten me through my divorce (we went to counseling to try and save the marriage - problem is, my now ex wasn't really committed to it, and ended up walking out.)

If he is interested, post back on here, and we'll figure out a way to exchange info. I would just post the name of the church or my e-mail, but I want to at least keep the illusion that I'm anonymous on here! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> (Given some of the details I've posted in the past, I probably am not if my ex is reading these boards, but I don't think he even knows about them - I didn't find them until after he had walked out...)

On the ther thread WAT mentioned he is off for the week ... where is he when you need him the most ?.

Bump this next week you 'll get him

-rh-

I'm here, and very willing to help.....listen, be a sounding board!!!

Diane, I appreciate the offer but would be best if we could match him up with another man.

Always glad to provide a laugh... and a bump to a thread, too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
