Desperately need ya'lls advice!

Thank you, Richard. That is very kind. I am sorry you had to deal with that sort of loss; death is always hard but death by unexpected or violent means is even worse in my experience.

The good news in this whole discussion: I finally had a frank talk with Richard and laid down the law. As it turns out there were quite a few things going on that I didnt know about and the situation was very complicated. Richard felt bad about lying to me and has actually in the past few days become physically sick out of guilt and continues to ask me if I'm sure I am alright. We talked for the better part of four hours and came to an understanding.

In short, he has one more chance. I can see that he is truly sorry about lying to me, and has promised to come to me first next time something like this happens. Essentially, the entire situation involved more than just he and this "G" guy, it was what I call a clusterf*ck.

I am healing now. I have finally managed to pull emotions out of myself. I'm working on painting and other creative endevours, not to mention working on school work. So...I think I'm going to pull out of this alright. I'm just glad humans are so resilient.
