You did a wonderful thing reaching out to that old friend of yours. I'm sure your gesture to him has touched him greatly.
I'm sorry you are feeling raw. I'm sure its a very uncomfortable feeling. I think a lot of folks put on a facade in our professional lives. The folks we deal with in our jobs are not usually the ones we want to know all our secrets eh?
I hope you find some peace and feel better.
