I'm going to speak with him to find out if there is an independent person he feels comfortable with. I know he chats a lot to his ex's Mom, but ..., though she adores him, she will naturally side with her daughter.

He asked me tonight about anti-depressants. That gave me a shock. He thought if he took just one he'd feel better. I explained to him that they don't work like that. But I feel I need to monitor him closely now. And he said he's not sleeping. Oh dear!
