JacT, you said it all there with that one sentence: "The life of a sad man." Whatever a man's personal issues might be (and every human being has them), starting A's and leaving families are not solutions. It clearly indicates much more lying deep below the surface.
Equally sadly, though, only they themselves can help themselves and change themselves. None of us can "fix" other peoples' internal problems.
