I think right now you should try to really look at yourself, as selfish as it sounds, and see how strong are you really? Things did not go well in the relationship, and you need to stop blaming yourself for all the things that went wrong. Both of you made mistakes, and you recognized the problems which is a great start for you. But can you be his support without causing “mix-emotions or feelings”? Will this confuse him more? Will this confuse you even? Really think about that before going back to him to be his support, as it may be perceived differently.
He needs to be able to get the help he needs by only wanting to get it. If he refuses or doesn’t listen, you can tell him over and over, and nothing will change. But know if his life is endangered in any possible way especially due to his mental health; please take the necessary actions to protect his life even if you have to report it to the authorities.
Lastly, you have to realize that just because he recognizes those issues doesn’t mean those issues are going away. I used to be the same way, not the exact same issues, but I would recognize my problems, say I need help but I never did anything about it. Fortunately I was never angry or violent, but it took time for me to work at my issues which I still am.
I hope this helps, and I hope you stay strong for yourself.
