*hugs* to all three of you from me! I know that over the next couple days all of this will sink in - sorry I'm just now catching up on your LJ per..
I wanted to let you know that Mike was an education major prior to everything. After it happened though he became a special ed major in order "to make it up to Randy" he said. Personally, I think that's a pretty crappy reason to go into a demanding and special field. He did work at the same group home as randy, but from what I heard it was only because Randy was still there and he didn't like it much. Again, with motives resulting from misplac4ed loyalty or >guilt< and moving into a field he already isn't too comfortable with, I wouldn't personally give him ANY points of any kind for working in special ed.
Also, though, I know I'll probably never forget, and it would take and something beyond extraordinary for me to ever forgive. But, I think I am managing to deal with it and not feel that "must destroy" urge when I think of him. Mostly because I think he's in hell or will be in it eventually...not that I believe in hell but he does, that's the lovely thing about it...
