I wonder too if there's anything left of Josh at this point. He's disconnected from even himself at this point. I will say that he is not aware that WE know HE knows. His friend did not tell him that he had been in touch with us and related his conversation with Josh to us. So, as far as Josh knows his dad is sick but he doesn't know that we know he knows. If that makes sense.
I understand he's an addict. I understand that he feels shame and guilt, as well as bitterness and unforgiveness. I'm praying that he will do the right thing, but I'm afraid he may not. I really thought that if he knew, he would have a sense of urgency and would contact us. It's just another stab in the heart.
