Dear Laurie:

You sent him that update a couple of months ag0 and he responded at 1 am about 7 weeks after he received the email. His message was a very short message, one that seems to have been impulsive, not one he planned or thought through. I suppose he knows he did wrong by you and ignores that he did wrong by you most of the time. He had a moment last week when he was aware of what he did and felt regret and shame.

“that’s why I’m where I’m at”, seems to me that it means that he is in a bad place in life, unhappy, in some sort of a mess. And he realizes he is in that mess because he wrongs the people in his life.
