Huh. He didn't say anything about this to me. Man, when will he ever learn not to bottle stuff up? Told him like a gazillion times. Oh well, I guess groups are better than particulars, and the positive stuff about this is that he had you as a shoulder. I'm relieved for that one detail.
On the other hand, talking through him is hardly going to solve problems, much less make things better, Brandon. If you want Ray to stand up for himself, then, properly speaking, he should do it himself, and if he can't do it, then help him, but don't do what he has to do by himself, or else it's highly likely he might fall into depression based off his inability to deal with serious issues. I'm not saying you're wrong in speaking your mind, but you should let Ray run his own mouth before you chip your opinions in. You've no idea who might be reading this, and if it makes things harder for Ray in the long run, then you've not helped at all.
The reason why I'm probably sounding cocky or like a smartass is because Ray is as good friend to me than he is to you, I've known him even longer, and if he was hurt at some point, by someone I don't know, and he didn't tell me, he must've had his reasons, but now that I've learned of this, I don't want to take chances in him getting harmed anymore than he already is.
You're a good friend, but you need to be his strength, not his guts.
