If he knows you are there
for him then surely one day he will want to talk to you, if only to ask you why you weren't there in person (let's assume he's not been given a full and balanced account by your ex').

If you give him a way to contact you without being pushy, maybe even let him know that you're there for him if he needs help sometime, then I reckon you're likely to get a positive reaction even if it takes months or years. If you give the impression that you're looking for a chance to tell your side of the story then he's likely to run a mile. Let him know that you're interested in him and his life rather than in justifying your life to him and you might just find he'll want to tell you.

Good luck.
