So my boss is an avid redditor, and recently his alt account was leaked. He found out, and deleted everything he has ever posted. As most people know,  nothing deleted stay gone forever on reddit.

When I heard about this account I decided to look at it, because of morbid curiosity and I was told he'd found my main account (where I've ranted about him quite a few times) and I just wanted to see if there was anything fun to poke fun at him about, or things he'd never actually say in real life.

What I found was so much worse.

He made a post in one of the depression support subreddits about his wife having an extreme depressive episode. He's never been secretive about his struggles with depression and his dark thoughts, but he specifically mentioned that she didn't know he was posting. 

He also had a separate post where he talked about a big falling out he and his father had over the holidays, that was a really personal and really intense account of the situation. 

It was the kind of thing nobody he knew was ever supposed to read.

Obviously I'm never going to tell him that I know. I'm not supposed to, and I feel extremely guilty for knowing. On the one hand, he deleted it because he didn't want people he knew to read it. On the other, once posted on the internet it's there forever. 

I just feel like the asshole.
