writes:After three years my Ex and I broke up. The reason was because he is an alcoholic and the disease became progressively worse. He sent me a text that stated that he must remain distant from me because every time he thinks of me and how he failed me he wants to die. We have issues that need to be discussed, but he is unwilling to see me or talk to me. Should I just leave him alone?

 I would leave him be, he has issues he has to work out by himself and to be honest someone like him is only going to drag you down, no matter how much you love him.

Yes, give him his space. He now knows that he has problems, and only he can deal with them. No matter how much you may want to help him, or discuss things with him, now is not the time because he will be feeling at his lowest and needs to realize he has to get himself help. Give yourself some time too, make sure you're going out and not just staying by the phone. If there is anything veyr important to discuss, perhaps write him a letter, or if it's anything to do with money, maybe even see a solicitor and as how it can be approached calmly without pressurizinh him too much. You have done the right thing by ending it with him, because you would only have found yourself more and more hurt while he destroyed himself. As it is, he is being made to face up to his problem. It will be far better in the long term. Give yourself some time, and I wish you all the best.
