There is no way, really, to know.
But you shouldn't feel obligated to give more than you can give. It doesn't have to be a question of blame. And it doesn't have to involve anger towards him. Perhaps he can help it, perhaps he can't. You need to draw boundaries with what you are comfortable with, and stick to them. Even mental health professionals do this. Otherwise you'll burn out and won't be able to be his friend even if you want to.
