thank you friend, I have not told anyone else the whole story, no one will ever understand as the great people who support me here.
I think you are right, he is horribly guilty and anxiety is eating him alive, he keeps going for long walks/drives, at my sister's at Christmas he felt uncomfortable, he told me he had this heaviness right above his heart, a tightness, didnt' feel well, went for a walk and got lost for 40min, he wouldnt' have found the way back to my sisters had I not gone out there (drove around 2x also) for the 6th time calling his name (I actually feared he'd done something awful to himself).

About his job, he's actually a great artist, there is a chance he could work as the dept.'s sketch artist, that would be so great, he is so talented.

I have been on this rd long enough to know that picking the story of the A apart is mostly to satisfy a morbid curiosity than to promote healing, some answers made me very angry and he prob wished he hadnt' said anything.

Focus on your strength and let him focus on his weakness

yes, he has to find his own way back to the good man he was and can be. Thank you so much for your words, I really really need them.
