Hi Help33,
Sorry to hear you having a hard time! So, you are interested in learning more about your ex partner's health issues? Are you two still involved a bit? Or friends now? Or... .?
In terms of your issues with codependency how does helping him stack up with taking care of issues in your own life? Are you interested in finding a better balance? Why is this consuming your entire life at the moment do you think?
What do you mean about him being cold towards you?
wishing you the best, pearl.
