[QUOTE="ajblakejr, post: 854855, member: 18807"] Harry, This is a safe place to post. The most disturbing, for me, was the following: "He beat the benevolent man with a hammer and drowned him in a nearby lake." I could not stop the imagery of one man, weakened by a beating, held by another under water until the life left his fighting body for air. We are blessed to have this forum for many reasons, right now, after reading and feeling the depth of how this one life event of a close friend impacted your early life and yet, you maintained a positive outlook for your troubled friend's future. We are blessed because it is a safe place to talk, anonymously, without burdening our immediate loved ones. You are not alone feeling this way, "Maybe this is one of those things that you think doesn't happen to/by people you know. I spent most of the evening looking at my wife and two beautiful children thanking my lucky stars for them. It even crossed my mind that I should be grateful for my job (gasp). It hasn't left me in a position where I felt like I needed to take from others to get by. My thoughts and prayers are with the victim's family as well my old friend. He's gonna need them where he's going." I am not a trained therapist; my next words are just me guessing that your next few days will be full of deep thought and examination. Regardless, writing about your experience is a good way to start that examination. It is just unexplainable, how it feels to have had someone in your life, someone that was important or made a deep impression, to be capable of purposely draining the life out of another human, a stranger. Harry, this thread is here. Come to it freely while processing - unburden yourself here - one sentence at a time, if needed. We are here, your BC UPS family. [/QUOTE]
