Dear Clair:

You wrote that the night before he was  to leave to his new apartment he told  you that he cannot count on his family but he can count on you.  You responded to him telling him that you will give him time away from you so “to give him time  to settle  in and  be with  his family”-

I don’t understand: why did you want  to give him time away from the  person he said he could  count on and  with the family he said  he could  not count on?
