Not doing good mentally.

My old boss just passed away. He was assaulted by his son at our office, was in ICU/hospice since last May. I was there when it happened. I was threatened if I came forward it’d come back on me and my family. I’ve lived with so much regret since it happened. It’s kept me up at night. We were close. He’s the reason I’m in sales. He saw potential in me when I had no clue where my life was going. He was 78 fricking years old, former Marine.. His son is 46 and is also a former Marine that uses PTSD as an excuse to be a complete piece of shite. They fired me the day before I had surgery. I’ve come forward several times trying to get the cops to do something, haven’t heard back. He was an amazing man. Sharp, witty. Still worked out every day at 78. I do not know what to do or where to put this. It’s an immense burden that has significantly impacted my life. My current boss was his old partner. He understands to a certain point, but nobody gets the pain I go through living through this. I don’t know what to do.

I'd say you could consult a lawyer.
Maybe consider taking your story public.

This time of year doesn’t help. Everything dreary and cold/wet and dead.
Fight through it

Very sorry to hear. Don’t beat yourself up. Not your fault, and you went forward to the cops. That’s admirable. Sorry for your loss and praying you find peace.

First I would suggest therapy, if he died as a result of the assault no hurry that’s murder get yourself sorted out first before taking on another fight.

Is this your boss?
Is this his son?
If so, there’s a movie that explains what you should do.

Did this happen on the old boss's watch? If so, I'd be sleeping like a baby now.

If you've got a problem,
Nobody else can help,
And if you can find them,
Maybe you can hire
The A-Team

I should have went to the cops the day it happened. They said he fell. The cops didn’t really seem to give a shite.

He still got to live a pretty long life.

Who threatened you and your family? Not sure how I’d deal with that tbh.
Posted on 1/23/22 at 6:14 pm to ColdTurkey
Get some help dude. I would suggest that you consider finding somewhere else to work.

If he can sell, he can find work. More concerned he rolled bus on someone that threatened he and his family.

You tried to intervien nobody could have known how tis was going to turn out. Focus on the good and keep working hard and prove he was right.
If you need professional help don't be embarrassed to get it. Prayers for peace brother.

Yeah you need to find an attorney and then file a police report. Or completely drop it and move on. It seems like a clear case of one or the other. Depends on your appetite for conflict and/or the degree to which you love seeking justice. Only you know that.

I am tomorrow. I can’t live like this anymore. It’s eating me up.

If you love seeking justice, there’s another solution.

OP I read your entire post and that’s a bad situation. Not to make light of any of it, but very good people have done WAY WAY worse than any of that. Get a new job and a lawyer like others have said. None of that should have you in a dark hole.
