Bklyn, This is unbelievably sad. I'm so sorry he is putting you through this now.
I think that he's going to keep this up until he has the legal business done. It's too easy to blame us for stopping them from getting what they want. We are the obvious targets.
Once the legal stuff is behind them, they will still blame us for their sad sitch, but it will get harder and harder for them to explain why they are not happy as time goes on.
We have to be in this for the REAL LONG haul (if we want) with guys like this.
They have blamed us for every unhappiness in their lives for so long... we are just fish in a barrel until there is nothing more they can pin on us (I love mixing metaphors!).
