[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 549899, member: 3305"] Kathy, My thought was that if you all paid for her to fly to Colorado and be with her "boyfriend" that she would finally hit bottom and be willing to come back home and get further treatment. I don't know... But I do know that my young difficult child behaves in much the same way. As if it is entirely up to everyone else to save him. He is also very good at playing the role of victim in life...always (in the past) has been someone else or something else that has gotten in the way of his success. Now, my mother heart has always tried to "save" but I will tell you that my husband has the attitude of "If you want to run away, I'll help pack your bags for you". When dealing with suicide...I find it hard to be so non-chalant or even level-headed. I would listen and be the shoulder for my young difficult child for hours on end...it might have passed the time (and made me feel better) but it did not stop the threats of suicide again and again. I don't know what the right answer is...but have been reminded by others that a person who want to do themselves in doesn't tell anyone, they just do it. With you there able to stop difficult child it does cause me to think that maybe these are just "cry's for help"...deep sadness or desperation but not REALLY wanting to die. It is so hard for me as I KNOW it must be for you at this moment to know what the right answer is. LMS [/QUOTE]
