"I took the bag with the gun away from him.
I told him that he has a son who loves him a lot, and people who love him too. "He was depressed and anxious in the last period.
He behaved like he was struggling with something, but I don't know what. "His son lived with us for a period.
We had plans for the future and now he is gone. I can't go back to the apartment, I will take my stuff from there, but I can't go there yet."
