[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 598812, member: 14356"] MWM - Big hugs to you. I know how you feel in some ways. My difficult child has threatened suicide 3 x in the last year and ended up arrested and committed to the hospital involuntarily for a week last fall. He played their game, got out and nothing changed. I don't think our health care system is any better than yours, maybe worse if you have decent insurance. Then there's the fact that when you do find the help for difficult child (at least mine) he refuses to take it. I hope you got some answers today from his local mental health clinic. I hope you found someone or a program that can help him and that he decides he is willing to take the help being offered. That is the crux, isn't it? Will he take the help? Will he go to AA? I know he doesn't admit to being an alcoholic but maybe if you put it in the context that he can get some counselling to help him use the 12 steps to coping with the stresses of his life? It is so hard to know where to draw the line with a mentally ill child. I'm always looking for someone to tell me what to do, what to say, how to act to get through to difficult child so it can be fixed. Hugs to you. I hope you find some answers today. [/QUOTE]
