TGIF! This week has been slow to move, and it felt like Friday would never arrive.
Had a long phone call from James last night. He is having a rough time. After Jonathan left, he had another roommate for a year who had mental illness issues. This guy wanted a relationship with James and James did not have reciprocal feelings so the living arrangement ended. Apparently the other guy felt spurned, and he reported to the diocese that James was having inappropriate relations with a minor. This led to investigations, and even though the charges could not be substantiated, James ended up losing his job. His church is working with him to keep the allegations off his employment record, and they will work out a severance package with him, but it has been very difficult.
In the process of investigations, it came out that he is gay which does not go over well with the Catholic church. He also found out that sexual preference is not protected in discrimination laws in Arizona so it may prove sticky in a variety of situations. He does have a possible lead with a Lutheran church though.
He will stay in Arizona to continue work on his doctorate. Diana may move out there to live with him and help with house expenses and he may need to find one other roommate. He is sounding more positive now, but he said the last several weeks have been very difficult.
We're sending you a package with a lot of accumulated mail. Dad tracked it and apparently you weren't home at the first delivery attempt so they'll try again today. Hope they find a way to get it to you. Love you!
