So I met the guy I was talking about above yesterday, and he's a decent enough sort. Has a good son. I wouldn't mind being his friend.

He's also weak willed, broke, and going to tear a fresh hole in my friend's life as he plummets to the bottom of his own mess. Worst of all I think most of what she wants from him is to feel wanted, to feel needed, which she could get from any guy. It's depressing to me because I don't think I can do anything to make it better, not even for her daughters, but I have to tell her even if it makes things worse.
