I really need as many responses and advice as I can get on this topic. I've never dealt with something like this. For starters, my boyfriend and I have been dealing with long distance for about a year now, maybe more. Anyways, every time one of us leaves, it never gets easier of course but this time things were worse. I know my boyfriend doesn't like being alone down here where he is, he doesn't feel he has any friends and he's away from family. The only person he is with is his grandma and she isn't the nicest person. He doesn't like school and he just thinks his life sucks. This morning he told me he doesn't want me to leave and it's worse this time. He let me know that I'm the only thing that makes him feel happiest. He told me that he "needs" me and he doesn't understand what's going on in his head. I explained to him that he should never NEED someone. But he just kept responding that he does. Anyways, he told me he thinks about taking a gun to his head almost everyday because then all this feeling would go away but he doesn't want to do that to me. And when he dropped me off at the airport he told me he's going to try his hardest to be okay & he keeps crying. I don't know what to do. I love him very much but I'm completely and utterly lost in this situation. I called his step mom and let her know even though I know he didn't want me to do that. I'm just worried about him.
