I think I can understand how you must feel. It is awful walking around on egg shells afraid he will run off. If or when he brings up C again, I would just say, "Honey (or whatever you call him), are you ready--- and do you want me to make an appointment with somebody, or do you have a preference?" And then wait for him to answer. If he is the kind of man that doesn't have a particular reply, but shrugs or nodds or whatever....then I think if it were me....I would make an appointment with whoever you want to use. Him bringing up the subject of C is the hint that he is reaching out for help for the M, he just doesn't exactly know what or how it do it.
About the phone calling. I haven't read your stitch, but it sounds like he needs some reassurance that you are very happy he is home with you and that he is "wanted" and you are interested in how he is making it through the night, etc. So, a call to say hello and see how he's making it, etc. should be okay, since he said what he did. Then see if he is sending you a lot of calls or TM's. Not knowing what kind of work he does.....maybe he is lonely or bored. Don't over-kill, but let him know he is wanted.
I'll read your stitch so I have a better insight of what the background is. If you are the type of person (and I don't know) to take charge,etc., maybe you just need to kind of toss the ball back in his court of some things. Like I suggested about the C. He throws the ball to you with a hint/question/suggestion.....then you give a soft reply and toss the ball back to him......that way, he is allowed to be the man and in his own way tell you what he wants to do. But, you know him and you can tell if he is wanting you to go on and do what needs to be done.....so, when he throws the ball back to you.....make an appointment with the C.
Hope you have a good day.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
