I reconnected with an old friend a few months ago and recently decided against being his friend. I'm not exactly sure what happened but his behavior started to change. Out of frustration I told him I no longer want to be friends with someone who insist on not communicating and is so flakey. Long story short, I decided to check on him some weeks later (I had a weird feeling something wasn't right and just bc I didn't want to be friends doesn't mean I stopped caring about him). I sent him a text asking if he was okay and he responded "I will be. Just pray for me" I told him I would and to keep his head up (I didn't want to pry). I texted him a few times afterwards (I asked him if it was okay to send him positive/inspirational quotes and he said yes). I also wanted to check on him here and there just so he knows he's not alone. I later found out that he got in trouble with the law. His poor choices have him in such a dark place (this is not the reason he started acting different in the beginning). He hasn't been on soical media since this has happened and now will not answer his phone or respond to text. It's been weeks since I've heard from him and I wasn't sure if I should check on him or just leave him alone. I don't want to frustrate him and I want to give him space but I also want him to know no matter what kind of silly arguments we may have I'm always here for him. It can be dangerous being in such a bad place emotionally and mentally. He's so hard on himself (I understand this was his fault but we've all done dumb things before) but he's not a bad person. Libras what should I do? Give him space or call him?
