my ex says he still loves me?

[Teresa]

So me and my broke up 4 months ago, and he messaged me on facebook saying he still loves me and that he wishes he never broke up with me, he even told me that he left me because he wanted to protect me from his dad because a lot was going on in his life which included his dad, but he didnt tell me what was going on. When he broke up with me, he told me I needed someone else, and didnt mention his dad , and his friend told me he dumped me for another girl. He told me he still loves me..do you think he's making up the hing about his dad?
