He has been calling me a lot lately telling me that "I am really not alright Fred" I think the pressures of running his own business , and some general life problems have been really eating at him. His main biz took a hard hit with the economy, and
in the last two weeks, he broke up with his gf, and then last Wednesday, he had to put his dog down. He has been MIA for nearly a week, but I finally talked to him last night. He went out of town with an ex, who is really bad for him, really bad for anybody for that matter.
He is usually a pretty level headed guy, does not drink , or do drugs, and he is like brother status to me. Even though I want to strangle him sometimes, he is really one of my best friends.
He is supposed to be home tonight, I am thinking about making him stay with us for a week or two , just in case. I would hate for something to happen to him, knowing I could have done something about it.
Any other suggestions? I was thinking about phoning his family, but do not want cause him any embarassment with his family if it is not necessary.
