LadyH answered Saturday April 7 2007, 4:03 pm: I'm not sure what you mean by feeling awkward. The only thing you can do is be there for him. He trusts you enough to talk about situations at home that would, in some cases, be embarassing/uncomfortable for him. So be glad you have the kind of relationship where he can come to you to talk about his problems. Try inviting him over for dinner a couple times a week. Or if you have any extra money, buy him a few groceries. It doesn't have to be a lot, but if you made an attempt to help out, I'm sure he'd really appreciate it!

I don't really know what you could say to him, but maybe invite him over for a lot of dinners so he can eat? Be like, "Baby. I'm so sorry, I know it'll be okay." Cause there isn't really much you can do. I mean it's not like you can give them $1000, but if you could I'm sure you would. Just try and comfort him and be nice about it.
