Good on ya Paul for sticking with a friend in need!
Sounds like he has some serious life challenges to sort out in his life.

For me hearing that he is also dealing with an opioid addiction and is cut off, well that sounds like big trouble for him.

Pretty sure that will completely impair his ability to sort thru the other issues in his life effectively for now. And may make them seem insurmountable in his current state of mind. A potentially dangerous combination for him.

Perhaps looking into addiction treatment immediately , and mostly focusing on that for the moment, will help move I'm into a position of being able to then deal positively with the other aspects of his situation once he has his feet back under him and is able to think more clearly.

Wishing your friend all the best in finding his way back to wellness.
He does have at least one good thing going for him, a good caring friend.

Cheers Richard
