Just in need of some urgent advice. I had to break up with my partner yesterday as it was a controlling, EA relationship. This morning he tried to enter my house, and when I said no, he said he was going to hang himself when he got home. I then said I would have to call the police and he backtracked saying he would go to a friends. I'm besides myself with worry and don't know what to do - do I text asking if he's okay? I was thinking of organsing a welfare check but I wasn't sure if it was overkill and if he would be angry at them turning up

This is textbook behaviour from an abuser. If you’re worried call the police but do not contact him yourself. Don’t worry about him being pissed off or embarrassed he isn’t your problem anymore.

Personally I wouldn't as it's a common tactic to manipulate you
I have called for a welfare check for a friend with a serious heart condition .
If he turns up again call police to remove him if you feel unsafe
