Is he in therapy Ravenhairedwolf?

Sometimes after experiencing a toxic relationship as you mentioned he experienced, a person, once gaining distance may need time to heal and have some therapy. Experiencing depression can actually cover a broad spectrum including feeling lost and vulnerable after being in an abusive relationship. It was nice of you to take care of him, however, it sounds like he is needing to get back on his own feet now and needs space to do so. Hopefully he is in therapy so he can work through all that has affected him.
