[spoilers] Harry's Diary

[Silktie]

Yeah, he definitely totally lost the plot at that stage. Like lwhite says, I think everything just became too much. At least he recognised how awful his actions were. For the most part, Harry is very honest about his actions, stating more than once that he was ashamed of what he did. As long as he doesn't delude himself that he always does the right thing, there is hope for him.

JHyde, I also found the bit where he said that he nearly decided to end it all very sad. For this man, who we've gotten to know as such a strong, principled and steadfast man, to contemplate such a step is a sobering indication of how awful his circumstances must have been at that stage. Aww, now I just want to hug Harry, or at least have Ruth give him some TLC even more.
