I too felt that I was walking away from a sick person during and after the divorce hearing to finalize it. I was not sure if she would even be alive because of the illness for very long. I gave it some time and space for her to deal with her life and her decision and for things to settle in regarding how her life was now going to be. She found out for herself that it was not great and actually sucked. She found out what she had lost and given up. It was the eye opening she needed to commit herself to getting help and dealing with the disease she has. Things have improved a great deal and we are now talking.
Give the ex time and space. Maybe this will be what he needs to open his eyes and start to work on himself.
