What a great report! Thanks Suzir for sharing all of that with us.
It really sounds to me like he has made huge progress in some areas this year, many areas, actually. I'm glad you have this occasion to be so proud of him and that you got that moment to tell him how proud you were of him. 
It sounds like he is really on his way forward.
Another way to think about the possible break up with girlfriend is that maybe this will be a weight off his shoulders because it must be tense and difficult a lot of the time if things aren't going well for them. Sad yes but a relief too (maybe).
