[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 537585"] Very similar situation here. My difficult child starting saying "I wish I were dead" "I am going to throw myself off a cliff" when he was about 5 or 6 yrs old. The situations never seem attention-getting...always after he has had a horrible meltdown and feels unloved, frustrated and misunderstood. psychiatrists just nod and stare at us when I tell them. Also on the behavior assessments that we fill out several times a year (cant recall the name of them, green folded paper) one of the questions is "child says that they want to kill themselves" or something to that effect. I always circle the choice "sometimes." But the psychiatrists don't ever seem too concerned. So troubling for such young children. My childhood was a very rough one but I did not start having suicidal thoughts until I was 14 a time when many teens think these things. Sad that our very young ones are so troubled deep down. The tiny silver lining is that when he talks of killing himself it leads to some very important discussions between the two of us. I hope that going through this now offers some protection in the future. [/QUOTE]
