Dear Anna,

Just to answer quickly; yes there was those physical touches again and when he disappeared that wasn’t to be with her but because he completely shut down because of some issues which happened and because of some talks we had me and him.

Yes we did [exchange messages in the second half of April], because that was at that time I was made aware of what happened in his life and that he reached me out to ask for my advices and such.

So you are saying that he disappeared in the second half of April because something happened in his life, some difficulty due to which he withdrew from social life (working at the pub, going to parties and suchlike) and stayed mostly in his room? During that time, he reached out to you via messages and asked for your advice in the problem he was dealing with. So he didn’t really withdraw/shut down from you, but only from social life? Am I understanding this right?

You also say another reason he withdrew in April was because he had some talks with you. Are you saying that those talks – in which you were trying to help him with your advice – made him shut down, even towards you? Or those talks made him shut down only towards the world?

Sorry for asking a lot of questions, but I would like to have as clear a picture as possible, to be able to give you meaningful feedback.
