So BIL and his girlfriend are separating, so girlfriend has now moved out of my (parent's) house and BIL has moved in. I won't go into their sitch here, but that aside, BIL has had a few things to say about WH's last days in the country...
Aparently BIL innocently asked WH at his 'going away dinner' the night before his flight, what time he was leaving, which airline etc and WH got really shirty and didn't want to answer "WHY do you want to know?", he answered agressively. WH later backpeddled and apologised but he was showing pure paranoia about being asked questions about his departure. BIL was very hurt..he says he was just trying to make conversation.
WH is ignoring BIL's emails..he asked me if I had had news. I replied in the positive, but that WH was very sparing with the details.
Also, aparently it went very badly between MIL and WH while she was here. BIL says MIL was the only person who confronted and attacked WH about what he was doing. WH says he never wants to see her again (thus why I found myself taking MIL to the airport with BIL, WH nowhere to be seen). They have a bad relationship anyway; I guess it's now just at an all time low (I sort of knew this).
Aparently the friends who housed WH were finding the last few days/weeks very heavy and had an argument about the way WH treats MIL.
Also BIL says WH had still been saying things like, "This is life I want, this is what life's all about" in reference to the life he was moving to... Aparently when he was last in OWs country he only really saw her and socialised with her circle. Maybe because everyone else (our friends) was on vacation still, I don't know...
Anyway, from all the above it sounds like WH was paranoid and mentally very unwell when he left. It's all so crazy that he is running to a life he hasn't tested but is saying thing like "This is what Life is"... I can see him heading for a nasty crash.
The 'fixer' in me wants to email our common friends and ask them to look out for him... I mean, I still love him as my flesh and blood and worry about him... I might do that.
Also there is part of me which wonders if BIL is a bit of a natural catastrophiser...and is making WH sound more nuts than he is.
