Everyone I know thinks that my ex is out of touch with reality because he thinks we are together and goes around saying we are in love when we've been broken up since Christmas. It's very weird, people think he's 'a nutter' and I know he's not dealing with his mother's death very well as he found her on the floor, several days dead, nearly 2 years ago. I think he would benefit from counselling, but I don't know how to suggest it as we are not in touch. I'm concerned for his safety and I want him to stop going around saying we are in love, and then accusing me of cheating when I'm not even with him. Do I ring his GP? A friend of his died today and I have lost all sympathy and won't be there for him but I know he's not right in the head and if I ought to be doing something to help, I would not like to miss doing so.

 You could speak to his GP or write him/ her a letter, but the GP can only offer whatever help your ex is willing to take. If you phone his GP, be aware that s/he won't be able to discuss your ex with you, but they will be able to listen to you. Why are you concerned for his safety btw?
I don't think there's much you can do about him telling people you are in love, except politely correct people when it comes up.
Does he have any family who you could speak to? He should be getting looked after by family/ friends, not an ex. It shouldn't be your place.

I'd also be worried for your safety-he's accusing you of cheating when you're not together, could be delusional jealousy, and you don't want this to get any worse. Ring his GP today and explain it is urgent. They can then assess him and arrange any counselling or other treatment that he needs.
