Tell him what you're thinking and that he isn't alone because he has you. Comfort him and be there for him when he needs you most and try not to argue or yell to often with him. Perhaps what he's lacking is a gentle nurturing hand.
The only thing that I can say to you is that if you love him that much then you'll go through every painful step of his life with him and in the end if you can show compassion and patience to him he'll love you in return and see that you're important enough to live for.
He needs the kind of help that you can't give him. Psychiatric and psychological help. Get him to a doctor and push him to keep his appointments and take medications.
Be careful with this situation. It could really bring you down. It might even end in his death.
If you don't think you can stick with him through all of his depression and suicidal tendencies, it might be best to end it now. He needs someone, but it takes a very special person to support a person who is this mentally ill. Tx mom.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
