LOL! Well that's awesome, you did the right thing in just letting him speak and not trying to interject anything. Well done! You do NOT want to tell him things that we are all inclined to say in these sitches like "it's OK", "don't worry about it", "it's not all your fault", etc. Just be quiet and listen because he's voicing what's been boiling around in his head all this time. You did great!

Does this mean anything, good or bad?


It's a very good sign, you gave him time and space and he's sorting it out. He's not done yet though, it's still going to take time.

Right. Think of the squirrel analogy:

If you try to feed a squirrel by hand, you have to hold perfectly still. It will slowly come to you, but even if you don't move, it will sometimes get scared and retreat. But it will return and get a little closer each time. If you get impatient and make any move towards it, it will quickly run the other way and the entire process starts all over again from the beginning. But if you remain patient, it will come closer and closer until it will finally take the nut from you.
