I am scared yes, but do I hold it against him? I mean don't people deserve forgiveness? I am a forgiving person but I am conflicted.
I think I know what the right thing to do here is, but a part of me feels bad because I remember what it was like to be shunned because of my behavior. I have done some horrible things in my past, granted nothing as bad as this but I would hate to be judged for it.
I am just so confused.

The emotional side of me says at least give him a chance considering the fact that he admitted it to you and considering he had problems with his parents; especially if his parents were abusive to him. While I haven't murdered anybody, I have done things in my past that many would deem unforgivable, yet all I desire deep down is acceptance by others so I can relate with that guy.
As long as he's stable now and he's regularly seeing a doctor or therapist or treatment via some other way, I don't see an issue with at least accepting him even if you take your time with it and move slowly.
At the same time, the hardened survivor inside of me says to run and avoid him at all costs just in case he is still has problems controlling his mood or impulses so there is that.
None of us here can make the decision for you so I hope you make a good one.
