DEAR ABBY: Last year, my son, his girlfriend and two others were murdered outside a city where “things like this don’t happen.” My other two boys received a call to come immediately to their dad’s home, where it had happened. My boys were the first to witness the bloody scene. They called 911. My son lived two days more. Today would have been his birthday. His brothers witnessed something beyond imaginable.

My youngest (now 32) has isolated himself. He has become a different person, as we all have. I’m worried about him. He was always a laid-back, sweet young man. Now his temper is quick, and his fuse is short. I invited him to come with me on a getaway for a few days, but he declined. He tells me he doesn’t know why; he just doesn’t want to be around people. I know why. It’s because of what happened.
