Just a quick post to clear up a thing or two. My last post did not mean to imply that I have not acknowledged his pain and circumstance. The purpose of my post was to release my frustration regarding the lack of information. Yes, I have sent both emails and a card. But, that does not aleviate the "need to know".
He did not respond to my correspondence. I don't expect him to, I do wish the family would send me daily updates. That was the reason for the post. Maybe too much to ask for a daily update. But at any rate I am concerned.
I don't want to supply him "the anger to move on with his life". Nor do I want to ignore his pleas for help.
I do however, want to respect his family and "stay away" from him until he is "settled" (their words, not mine).
There does not seem to be a right way to deal with this. It seems I am always "refreshing" my email waiting for some type of information.
Well. I am still waiting. Nothing new today.

As you have acknowledged his pain and his family has made it clear they wish you to stay away, then that is the thing to do. Unless you plan on having a relationship with this person again, it is time for him to deal and move on. As long as he knows you care that he feels so strongly, that is all you can do. Considering the circumstances, I would doubt the family is feeling too friendly towards you right now, even though he is ultimately responsible for his actions. It is always easier to blame a loved ones problems on someone else.
