EbonyBlossom agony auntIf he's blackmailing you then it sounds a bit like he's an attention seeker or he's milking it. I had an ex who was like this, he made everything about him. Break ties with him and explain that you both need to get on with your lives without each other. If he's as bad as you say he is then maybe he should see a counsellor =]

DrPsych agony auntIf your BF is self-harming as your post suggests then he needs specialist treatment. People who are suffering from significant psychological disorders can be extremely manipulative and emotionally dependent on those around them. In many instances they don't actually know the burden they become to other people and it will take treatment for this young man to sort himself out. By breaking up and making up you are sending him the wrong signals. He thinks that he can emotionally blackmail you this way and it has been an effective strategy. You are back with your family now and hopefully feeling stronger. You don't wish to be with him and actually breaking up may prompt him to seek treatment to help re-start his life. No-one could expect you to cope with him or stay in an unhappy relationship at your age. Go out, have fun and build yourself a life. I suggest you write him a letter explaining that you want a new start without him around. If you think he will start the emotional stuff again, just stop receiving his calls. He may well try to come to see you but you must remain firm and not back down to him. This is for his own good, as much as yours. Without you around as his helper then perhaps he will seek the treatment he needs.
