Addie, IMHO you should proceed with whatever you have planned for yourself (moving back to hometown and getting your job back) and let him sort out his mess. One cannot make a weighty decision while in the "foggy" state of mind. Let him try, he doesn't have to live or die by his decision and when he won't have a worthwile result he may start rethinking all of his impetuous actions.
I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders ____________________________________________________ M 46 H 45 D 17 M/T 23 Bomb #1 (ILYBNILWY) 12.06 Bomb #2 (OW) 12.07 Bomb #3 (chose OW over M) 9.08
