Dotsie, I’ll check out the book thread, thanks for recommending that.

And my comment about “scary” had nothing to do with fear for my own personal safety. He “has” talked about hurting himself (and I found out that has been going on for years, he has been battling depression for a LONG time). He has recently sought professional help and is taking medication now (which seems to be working). That is what I was referring to when I said I wanted things to continue to improve, so that he can lead a happy, healthy life. He's a nice guy, he deserves that.
