It sounds like you're dealing with a lot right now and that it's taking a toll on your school work.
Meeting with him tomorrow is the right thing to do. How much you tell him is up to you, but if he's anything like my professors used to be he may suggest you seek professional help, not because he doesn't care, but because his role with you is professor, not psychologist. You don't know for sure that he doesn't like you because of this or that he thinks you're attention-seeking etc., but I understand how you might be afraid that he thinks that. Part of his job as professor is to help you succeed in his class.
Even if he doesn't suggest that you see a professional, I suggest that you at least try it. You should be able to get free or reduced-cost services as a student and nobody would have to know about it.
