Vent/rant ig (TW for implied mentions of suicide)

Okay so I was on call with one of my former friends who I will not name and he had mentioned that he’s been going  through some shit and proceeds to have the worst breakdown I’ve ever seen in my life which I try to help him through. After that call, I try to text him to make sure he’s okay the next day, and he doesn’t respond, so I spend the rest of the month texting him every few days hoping that he’ll respond and he never did. He just texted me last night and apparently he knew what I was afraid had happened and consciously decided not to text me back just to be a dick. I genuinely don’t know how to feel about this. He’s always been weird and transphobic to me, but I did my best to forgive him, and at this point I just want to get away from him because he used to manipulate me all the time, and I thought he changed, but it’s clear that he didn’t now and I feel really hurt by all of this
