HopeFloats,

I honestly thought that PB was in the depression/withdrawal stage for quite a while. He still hasn't looked at himself yet, as far as I can tell. His overtly bad behavior didn't last too long, could he be too responsible for that? Don't know. Nothing makes sense.

Depression/withdrawal is so odd. Little contact, unless PB desperately wants something. Doesn't care what I want or don't want. Doesn't make any contact with anyone that I know of. May not even leave his apartment.

But since I'm determinedly not snooping, I can't know anything for sure. PB's job is supposed to be done, he's looking for a new one, and last I looked (1 month ago or so) his spending was way down.

I think his replay started January of 2005 now. MLC December of 2003. Bombs in June, July, T-giving 2005. Big bomb Xmas 2005. Haven't seen him since.

He cries a lot of the times on the phone with me. Maybe every time, I would have to think back. He sounds like he's reaching out, but when I reach back I usually get my hand slapped.

So who knows, really? I have left him to wallow in his mistakes for a few months now. And it's very empowering to me. And enlightening to him.

I'm not an enabler any more.

Sorry for the ramble.
