Update: he took pills apparently. He's fine, they called the ambulance in time, and they said he's okay.
His parents came over here to talk to my parents, but they had already gone to work, so they talked to me instead. His dad accused all of Jan's friends, including me, for letting him do stupid stuff like take drugs, proceeding to claim that "if it was up to him he would take his gun and shoot all of them". After they had left, he came back five minutes later to tell me that I should keep what he said to myself, not in a threatening way, more in a "I was beside myself" kind of way.
This is insane. This man is insane. I understand that he's frustrated about his son, but apparently this isn't the first time he's tried to kill himself, and they pretend that it didn't happen and blame it on his friends every time, even if we've made it plenty clear that we try their utmost to keep drugs and "bad things" away from him.
Jan was over last night for like ten minutes to show me and a friend the pictures he had taken on his excursion to egypt earlier this month (the one he told no one about). I had hung out with this friend earlier in the day and he had told me he wasn't talking to Jan because he didn't want to have to deal with Jan's dad anymore, not while Jan had exams anyway. But I hadn't seen him in a couple of months, so I had dropped by to say hi, and he came over afterwards.
I don't know whether I should tell his other friends about the shooting thing. Like, I really don't know, I'm afraid that his dad might actually be capable of doing it. I don't think he would, he's a police officer (however that might factor into it), but still. If I tell these guys, they'll definitely tell their parents, and this whole thing will blow up even more and it might not have been a thing, and I really don't want that to happen. If I don't, and something happens... I know really I should tell the police or something, but that's not like it's information that they can actually work with.
God fucking damnit. I know it sounds selfish, and this guy is obviously not in a right state of mind and needs help and his parents need to admit that but don't blaming his friends, and I feel really bad, and really want to go visit him in the hospital and check up on him, but I'm jumping at fucking shadows right now.
Edit: I mean, yay for being at home for one day for the first time in like six months am I right?
