Would You Visit This Man Who...

[Jermyn Davidson]

A Christian man, taking medications and very highly intoxicated, attempted to kill his wife and one of his sons.

He initially pulled the trigger on his wife and the gun didn't fire.

His son tried to wrestle the gun out of his hands and failed. The father pointed the gun and shot his son, grazing the side of his son's head.

Now this guy who did all of these terrible things, did them in front of his 7 year old daughter.



You have been a friend of this family for awhile. You're familiar with the struggles that lead up to these sad events.



Now that your friend is in jail, do you go and visit him?


If yes, what do you say? What do you talk about?

If no, well, is that the way to treat a friend?


I'm troubled by the whole situation-- especially since I warned them both on separate occasions, more than once, that they should divorce for their own safety. I really don't know how I am supposed to relate to them any more, or if I even should.
