If you're coming to an internet forum for advice on what to do, you're not ready to tell him you're driving to California alone.

I TOTALLY disagree. I think there is wisdom in asking other people for perspective on things AS you prepare for how to handle it. Sometimes we are so close to situations that we aren't sure if our perspective is overlooking a significant or helpful detail. Sometimes just venting about it helps a person prepare to deal with it, and sometimes people have some great advice and can give you insight you wouldn't have thought of, and sometimes your original plan was just fine all along but getting some support can help build your confidence to deal with it. I think he was just fine to ask, and now he can see different perspectives from the outside, prepare for how he wants to handle it, and take action. Just because he had to ask in the first place does NOT mean he isn't ready to drive alone if that's what he decides to do.
