You're not overreacting LT, these are your feelings and as such, valid. I think (assume?) it doesn't help when (a) he doesn't really get it and (b) it is a done deal i.e. whatever you feel, this is his decision and he is in effect 'leaving' you and (c) his 'real life' takes priority over his clients.

Frankly, the 'not taking ownership' part is also striking for me. I mean. This is a blurring of boundaries (why tell clients this?!) and also makes him seem cowardly: 'it's not me, *they* are making me do it'. I mean, come on, grow up and own up to your decisions...

I know these are uncertain times and the future (i.e. what will happen) isn't guaranteed but it seems *he* also is fostering this shaky, uncertain, ground with you. And how is that helpful..

Finally, I also feel that your deep core issues are not being addressed. It seems more like a band-aid strategy: e.g. calling a friend, posting here, whatever. These are distractions. The inner wound is still untouched.
