So sorry Crankin, that is such a complex and sad situation.

Incredibly complicated. My phone has been buzzing like crazy as I sit here seeing the kids at Hudson HS. So, the ex girlfriend did contact me finally. She knows. She is going to call me at 1:15, after I get home from work and PT. Then I will take a nice walk in the woods or an easy ride.
I guess what is so sad is that he was a person who everyone saw as perfect when we were kids. Smart, athletic, kind, socially aware. I know this means nothing in terms of mental health, and I wish I knew everything. I am glad we reconnected and I was able to apologize for making a bad choice at age 18.
However, the good thing is I had 2 wonderful talks with my best friend from middle/high school last night. It was like no time elapsed. Talking to her was like hearing my own voice.

Oh man, Crankin. That's so sad. Do take care of yourself.

Interacting with the high school kids this morning is keeping me busy and very engaged. I am ok, albeit somewhat numb. I know that's normal and everyone else who was his friend (and it's a lot of people who have been affected by this) feels the same way. I can't really talk to my friends about this, for a lot of reasons. I can talk to my high school friends, though, and DH.

[Crankin]

Not gonna do that. I am already home for the day, and I only have morning clients tomorrow. In fact, I'd get a lot of questions in this situation, if I did that! Going to get ready to go outside...

I'm so sorry Crankin. Please take care.

So sad that a promising person did not make through his life happier. My thoughts with you, Crankin. Glad you got to chat up with him.
