I do not know what happened to him, or behind the surfaced story. But I know most people (newcomers) suffered from different levels of difficulties. And I am glad I have had one of the worse experience I ever could have had.
Having literally 50 bucks in the bank account and worrying about the next month's rent isn't close to anything of my favorite. 3 of us had to work hard to make a living for quite a while.
I wasn't criticizing about anything happened to him, I was talking about the action taken. It is about the responsibilities he unloaded from himself and the misery he left for his family.
Irresponsible isn't anything a man should and would do.
