Don't blame the employee for the poor quality of their crappy coffee. I live next door to one. I've been in it twice since 2009. A big truck comes and delivers there donuts for want of a better turn every morning. I'll go there primarily for a clean bathroom and a diet Coke.

This isn't something therapy is going to fix. The guy is just going to suffer just like anyone else would that was in his shoes. There's no philosophical do-over, something terrible happened to him. You can't understand emotional pain enough that it doesn't hurt like hell. There's no theory of life that will make everything better. He's going to hurt, and some day when he doesn't hurt anymore he'll miss it.

That's some seriously dark stuff. You hear about animals doing this in the wild, sacrificing the weaker child to neglect to ensure the stronger child or the mother lives. There should be no reason for this in a first world country. If we need to address a potential homicide risk in recent mothers that's maybe something to look into.
