Flapjack,

I am concerned about you. You're a wonderful person to care about this guy and to want to help him. But the more I hear, the more he sounds like someone who has the potential to hurt you. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. Is there an adult IRL you could tell about his calling you insistently and stuff? It's not right for him to be using you this way and making you feel responsible for him. All too often there is a pattern where someone makes you feel important and makes you feel like you are the only one who cares, and then they push it a little further than you are comfortable, and when you try to back off they get more insistent and make you feel guilty. People who do that are the ones who will try to control you and might hurt you or force you do do things you don't want to do when they don't get their way. I don't want to scare you, but I am afraid this could be a dangerous situation, and you may need help to handle it. Especially if he ever tells you not to tell anyone something about what he says or does, that is a sure sign that you need to get help immediately.

TC and Be Safe,
Rap
