Your situation sounds so difficult. But a therapist should never ever ever want to be your friend outside their office. That is not their job. Their job is to see you in their office to help YOU get better, not for you to meet any of their needs at all. Even if I thank my T for something he is soooo clear that he appreciates my thanks, but that he doesn't need them, and that I absolutely do not need to thank him for him to feel like an adequate T. So for you to be helping him with his personal life just seems completely inappropriate to me. Sorry to be so blunt, but I care about you and don't want you to get involved in a situation that is in any way hurtful to you.
