What would you do about an ex who is descending into a religious mania?

We are both Christians. Recently he has been predicting the apocalypse and talking about it excitedly. He believes he will be fighting on the front line with the saints. And he sees himself dying in my arms. Should I tell his mom?
I really wish this were a trolling post...but it is 100% legit

If he has other support persons let him be. He is an ex and your relationship state may not let communications be clear.

@Zeusdelight Everyone else seems to cut him off pretty early and hasn't listened to him go as in depth about it as I have

I would find his most sensible friend and ask him why he thought that was the best tactic. To them, very they all are doing it and still remain friends, it must be.

What about telling his mom?

That’s a good idea, but I suppose I would ask one of his other friends to go with you. Then Mum and you can hear two sides to the story.
