The good news: My friend who was in prison for striking the girl with his car is doing well in that after prison he got married and landed a job he likes very much.
The bad news: He is DESTROYED WITH GUILT OVER HAVING HURT SOMEONE. When he talks of it, his body literally starts shuddering with involuntary vibrations, and then he starts repeating how sorry he is over and over again, as if he has worn a deep groove with the mental torment burned into his brain.
I do not know what recovery method (if any) he uses or used. He always was an animal and nature lover with religious interests. You can probably guess that he would have major problems coping with the guilt from severely hurting an innocent person. I am going to call him just to say hello, come to think of it. Though much time has passed, I bet we still have a lot in common.
