Arsh, detach, don't go dark. Dark is for people that are separated physically. You need to validate his feelings. Respond when he asks things, just don't be the starter of conversations. sandi says treat him like you would the cashier at the store, be friendly, but not overly sharing.

Please forget about him getting therapy. Therapy is a waste of time until the person makes the decision that they need it. You can't control him or his depression. He has to deal with that.

On 1) "Sorry you feel that way. But since you are leaving the MR I feel no obligation to keep you informed of my every movement."

on 2) "Sorry you are angry about that, however, if you are interested in how he is doing I would suggest you ask me."

You are doing great. Keep it up. His anger is showing he isn't being honest about his feelings towards the MR.
