      I feel that the person I’m with is battling bad mental health problems and self medicating with cocaine and alcohol. Behaviour is irrational, promises the world then always lets us down. I love him but I know he doesn’t love me in the same way as it literally feels like he comes and goes on his terms, causes a row to score. Disappears for hours won’t answer calls and then ignores me for days, never an apology no sorry always me chasing and smoothing things over. He won’t get help for his mental health but continues on his cycle. Any advice would be welcome..

      But the Icarus Trust website is VERY hard to reach. Very slow connection if you get any connection. It might be valuable to have a look at that. It doesn’t work for me although I would like to connect to them. Its impossible up till now. Two days trying.
