my ex is going through a hard time. all of my friends have told me to stop reaching out but he is so lonely and it breaks my heart that he is struggling so much. his dad died when he was a baby and his mom is so negligent and well, he has mommy issues. she pays no attention whatsoever to him but constantly demands more and more from his since he's the only man in the house. he's 17, but has felt the pressure for his whole life. he's going through a lot and he feels empty but it's so sad that he has no support at all. he only had me but of course he pushed me away because he spirals and leaves when he feels overwhelmed. still, I can't leave him alone but it also hurts that he's so cold and simply won't tell me more other than that he's not feeling okay. I want him to at least vent to me but he won't. I don't know what to do anymore, I love him, I can't stand seeing him this way. I moved far away so I'm not near to help him out like before. but should I cut him off?
