[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 195139"] I know how awful it feels. I also know how awful it feels for your son. I've had those same feelings. They are extremely intense. So intense, you can't see around it to any other possible solution. That definitely sounds like a borderline moment. And I'm sure he meant it. At that moment. The reason the suicide rate is as high as it is with those that have Borderline (BPD) (last I read, 10%) is because of impulsivity. If you really feels he's borderline, then the best tools he can get in order to survive on his own is from DBT. There is an upside - as hard as it is to see at the moment in your anguish. He's talking to you about this. But, he is also trying to do things in order to [I]not[/I] put himself in the position (i.e, getting kicked out) to act on that impulse. He doesn't [I]want[/I] to die. He just feels like if he gets kicked out he will have no other options. And it seems that he's trying to not put himself in that position. [/QUOTE]
