Dearheart, I think he has more issues than just being lied to. Anyone who tries to kill himself because someone lied to him has serious issues!! And I'm afraid they aren't all about lying. You said he had alot of scars from his past -- well my thinking is he has ALOT of scars from his past, and THOSE are affecting his present. He may have abandonment issues, he was probably abused, there could be a myriad of things that happened to him in his childhood. He seriously needs therapy!

You said he went to a "counselor" before and it didn't help. What kind of a counselor did he have? Was it a psychiatrist? A psychologist? Or was it a social worker? He really needs to see a psychiatrist -- someone who is trained in abusive issues and can see him regularly. Is there any way you can get him to go? Your future depends on him going, and his MENTAL HEALTH depends on it !

Perhaps if you suggested couples counseling to start, it would get him in the 'mood" for counseling. He might see where it could benefit him individually. See if he'll go if you both go -- then see what happens. I wish you the very best of luck. Please let us know what happens, ok? We really do care. God bless & best of luck. Hugs, Lee
