[QUOTE="buddy, post: 486373, member: 12886"] Would he call an anonymous suicide line, mental health line etc? There are crisis lines, prayer lines etc... where people do just listen. If he is so socially isolated, this would be anonymous and he wouldnt' have to worry about what anyone thought of him. You could present it as you just want to make sure someone is available IF you can't answer sometime, so he doesn't think you are not wanting to talk to him (unless you are ready to set that boundary???) I know some people (me included ) hate phone calls. I have to really work to talk on the phone sometimes. Not with good friends and family usually, but sometimes. I feel terrible for him. I wonder if he is (temporarily I would think) actually feeling emotionally/developmentally the age he was when he had his main issues. If so it would be overwhelming....more than as an adult. The ptsd could really put him in that place couldn't it? I know nothing about that, It just made me wonder. [/QUOTE]
