[QUOTE="JKF, post: 632630, member: 12470"] I got a call from the hospital before. difficult child is being admitted for suicide threats. The nurse who called said difficult child gave her permission to call and she asked me difficult child's history. I told her everything and I also told her he's been in and out of the psychiatric ward there several times over the last few years. She said she knew - she pulled his history- and then she asked me if I'm afraid of him, has he ever threatened us, himself, or others. I answered yes to it all. She said like it sounds like I've done a fantastic job setting up boundaries and to keep up the good work. She said no one can help difficult child but himself. Yet another confirmation that detaching is the right way to go. Anyway - About 5 min after I hung up with her he called. He said he is tired of being homeless and wants help. He said he was on the train tracks and ready to commit suicide today and a friend called the police. They sent the ambulance to get him. He's being admitted and will be transported to the ACIS unit in an hour. I'm surprisingly calm. I truly hope this is his rock bottom and he'll get the help he needs.
