Ravoc, you have MORE then prooven yourself to be a good freind. Even after he stole from you, you still gave him a shoulder to cry on. That is loyalty and dedication right there. I am proud of you, and proud to be your freind.

As for "Josh", I really hope life comes through for him. From what you described, sounds like he could be suffereing from abuse/neglect releted depression. What he needs most is guidance and love.
