I hope for his sake there's just been some misunderstanding somewhere. I'm glad there's going to be a meeting to look into whatever may have happened and the people in charge aren't saying too much.

I think whoever one feels led to tell one's story to is a good choice, there's always things to learn from saying too much/too little to the right/wrong people, etc. Learning to deal with difficult things can only happen when difficult things happen to us, not from what we imagine they might be like.
