My ex and I have been broken up since August and have still been in each other’s lives until now with some breaks for no contact.
His father struggles with bipolar and has gotten quite unwell due to the stressful world changes happening at the moment. My ex is his dad’s primary carer and he is also struggling. He has been leaning on me for support. I’m struggling to know what the right thing to do in this situation. Do I support my ex? How do I look after myself and extend care to this person? Should I be helping? I just feel so lost.

It depends?
What do you need to feel mentally and emotionally ok? Who broke up with who and why?
I could support one of my exes quite well, another I couldn’t because it would emotionally break me, I just can’t keep healthy boundaries with him.
