If I were you I'd create a brand new HN account and ask for advice there.
That's the most compassionate and un-troll-like thing I can imagine anyone doing.
(I really hope you're not seriously asking HN for advice on this. If this is a genuine request for advice, you have plenty of it now. Please go and be a compassionate human and support your co-founder. Consider deleting this post before they get to see it for themselves)
