Very depressed during A school (please help)?

He should find out about taking some emergency leave at the very, very least. That sounds like a huge mess, to be honest, but the least he can do is try to get leave. I know it's going to be a b**** because he's in training, but with his dad in the ICU, I'm pretty sure he can get it. It doesn't sound like anything is going to FIX him, but a break might be helpful. Keep in mind that he may get washed back in training because he'll miss some...but I don't think that's his biggest trouble.
