Thank you, Kim. My friend is doing really well. He's got a good job that he likes, and aside from stresses at work, and that he feels lonely, he's a pretty happy person. I've never known him to be self destructive. You're right that the ball is in his court, and since he's safe right now, I probably shouldn't push him at all. I guess I just don't get how he seems to deal so well with it. I'm of the mind that keeping secrets isn't good for you, but it doesn't seem to be eating him up. He's probably dealing with it a lot better than I would have, maybe that's why I don't understand. I'll just stay tuned, I guess, and make sure I'm there if he ever wants to talk about it again.
Thanks for your response!
