[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is in what is called “nosediving”.  His plane is crashing, he knows it but is too far in the grip of alcoholism and maybe drug addiction to gain control.

His hope is that you will be a parachute or life preserver he can take advantage of so he does not have to go to rehab or AA.

Letting this person into your life would be like allowing drunk squirrels into your home. It might look cute at first until your furniture is chewed up and peed on.

This man has more red flags than a bull fight stadium.

I agree with all of this.

You can’t diagnose anyone with anything if they are actively using.  It’s right in the front of the DSM.    I’m pretty certain he is drunk when he’s sending you all of these messages.  Who knows what he’s like when he’s sober.  He could be a perfectly pleasant person with normal boundaries or even an extremely anxious or depressed person that would never send messages like this in a million years.  You don’t know.
