dear Broken hearted, it is terrible when we love someone but they push us away only because of depression, and all we can do is to tell them that you are there for support and will care for him, and whether he wants to accept this it's never easy to know.
We can have a situation where somebody texts a person who they know will worry about him, but this doesn't necessarily mean that they want to be with you, so if by chance you do go and see him his tendency is to push you away again.
He is finding it very difficult because he has lost his children, which is now a fact, so I just wonder whether he is in denial of his depression, and only viewing it from the nasty divorce, but never the less he doesn't want any help, just someone to text to.
He may love you, but don't forget that he has depression and what they say with this illness we can never be sure of.
Now you are beginning to fall into depression yourself, so now you have to look at the whole picture and decide whether you struggle with trying to help him or whether you start getting help yourself, and don't forget that you have a family to consider. L Geoff. x
