Well, if you were expecting something long and drawn out, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. My purpose here is twofold: to warn you and to protect him. A job I never would have accepted on my own, mind you.
[He shrugs before continuing.]
He has just as much faith in you as you have in him, so it's not a matter of believing he'll be hurt by you. Ultimately what it comes down to is that he has a lot of problems he's never fully realized he has, and he doesn't know how to handle any of them because he never tried. He's scared, worried, and even angry because he doesn't live up to his own incredibly high expectations.
Bluntly put: he's a mess.
I'm not going to tell you that you should stay with him or that you should help him. I still believe it would be better for you if you left. But if you do plan on staying...
[He pauses here and after a moment his gaze shifts toward the door.]
...Well, someone needs to talk some sense into him, should he ever start getting the idea to follow the same path I did. Will you be willing to do that?
