I am new here but just wanted to let you know that I am very sorry for your loss. I vote no also. You mentioned that he is incarcerated so I'm assuming the courts found him guilty and he's doing time. The courts are probably also requiring AA or some sort of substance abuse program as part of his sentence, as well they should. Then of course, he is asking for forgiveness as required by AA. Do you get the feeling he would be asking for forgiveness without AA? I guess we never really know about anothers sincerety or what is truly in their hearts. We only know what we personally can live with. I'm sure it varies in degrees with all of us.
