[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel nothing but pain and sympathy for Nashville Mayor Megan Barry and her spouse Bruce Barry, a Professor at the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University.

Last July 2017, Megan and Bruce lost their only child, their 22-year old son Max Barry to a drug overdose.  He had some history of struggle with drug addiction, and it is surely a devastating loss.

We now know that Mayor Barry engaged in an affair with a close colleague that began in the Spring of 2017.  Being a loving mother I am sure that she is bereft,  and was likely already struggling with self-blame of perhaps not being sufficiently emotionally present, or perhaps being too distracted or self-involved, in the last year of her son's life.

An apparently good woman made one dear mistake, at what in retrospect was the worst possible time in her life to do so.  I have no doubt that error of morality and judgment  haunts her.  She and her husband have suffered more than a couple should ever have to, I see no need to add a public humiliation and shaming to their misery.   [/quote]

Finally a decent post by someone with normal human values.

The rest of you: do you have any humanity left in you??[/quote]

According to this timeline the affair started before her son's death. So it was not a grief response as the poster suggests.[/quote]

I did not suggest it was a grief response, as I said the affair began in the spring, and her son passed away over the summer.  Spring always precedes summer.

However, I did mistakenly post those events occured in the same year, when actually the affair began the year before.  [/quote]
