It was almost two years ago that H told me the truth, the whole story about this situation. That his parents never supported him and that he really wasn't very smart in high school "stupid" and didn't know any better. I said "people would have helped you" and he said he didn't know that, his parents didn't have a clue either. Up until then he never told me what happened. "If" he would have taken the scholarship I'm sure his life/job would have been different. When he told me he was very distressed, he'd had a few to drink by then and by the end of the night he was blasted!
