he's going to iraq soon. my fear is something will happen there that will hurt him

his family is trying to see him soon and kinda.. corner him about me. as it is now he completely ignores them if they ask him about me. if they can get him to calm down about me, he'll be more likely to calm down about everything else. then he'll have them to rely on. the family he lives with now on weekends thinks he's hopeless...whereas these ones think he can be helped if he'll agree to it, and they will help him every step of the way. his aunt was crying when she was writing him a message, so i suggested she take him to a movie this weekend so they can see each other again..since i know which movie he wants to see. i'm hoping they see him soon.
