[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 621584, member: 1550"] Well, you have to do what you have to do. I don't know what I would do. I think 32 sounds a lot like 36 and although I do freak when he mentions suicide, I know I can't stop him. I think 32 may be trying to up the ante (suicide is our ultimate fear) to get Grandma to send him money again. Seems like 32 is closest to those who giveth the most. The few young adults and teens I've known through the years with my own children who did commit suicide and did not threaten suicide nor tell anyone they were going to do so. They shocked everyone when it happened because nobody was prepared. Seriously suicidal people don't tell everyone about their plans as a rule. Actual symptoms of a possibly suicidal person is somebody who has been obviously depressed who is suddenly more upbeat and starts to give his stuff away (big red flag). The last child who sadly killed himself in our community was troubled, but was allegedly doing better. His girlfriend had gone out with him the night before and said he was in a good mood. He said nothing to her about being unhappy at all. The next day he took his father's gun and shot himself in the mouth with it, leaving no note and many shocked and saddened people. His father was a cop and they had done everything to make his life good. I think he was 19. The one before that had posted some poetry on FB...a bit dark, but nothing really that over-the-top. He had been in a little trouble and had lived with his grandparents for a while and had just come back home again. His mom found him hanging in his closet dead. Again, no warning and no note. Jumper cried for weeks. She had been with him a few weeks before that and he had not acted sad or spoken of killing himself. Many difficult children use this scary tactic as manipulation when nothing else works. It is the ultimate selfish threat; one meant to scare us out of our minds. And it does. [/QUOTE]
