I've just finished chatting with one of my internet friends. We live in different countries and we've never met. We've exchanged pics, that's as close as it gets. We have talked a lot though, about our innermost feelings and fears, and in some ways our lives mirror each other to an extent that is almost scary. In a way he feels like a family member to me, or at least a family member I wish I'd had while growing up, and he is very dear to me. More than dear even, and when I see he is in such pain as he is now I feel so helpless...

He means so much to me! I don't know what to do if I was to lose him. He said about half a year ago he lives for his dogs, but right then he started dating his boyfriend for real, and he's since moved in with him too. I thought that would pick him up, but it hasn't. His health isn't so good and his veteran pension is extremely limited, he's very poor. His boyfriend wants to help, but he isn't allowed to because my friend doesn't want to feel like he is a burden, financially and otherwise. It's pride to some extent, but there's more also behind that, more sinister motives.

He wants to die, I know it. Sad

I want to HELP HIM! But I can't! I'm too far away! Sad

Don't know what to do... My words of support aren't accomplishing anything, and that's all I got! I'm totally helpless...
