[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 539070, member: 84"] (((hugs))) I know he's seeking some form of help, but it stinks that he's laying this at your door when you're too far away to do much. Him expecting either you or ex to swoop down and come to his rescue is over the top, even if he IS freaking out. If he is suicidal he needs to go to the ER. Yup, if he admits it there he'll probably be admitted but given his current state of mind, I'm thinking that is probably not such a bad idea. And I'm thinking there is probably at least ONE therapist in the area with at least ONE day that has evening hours. We're rural as heck and not very big at all and I can think of several here that at least offer that for people who work. Those that don't do late hours will often work Saturdays, at least in the mornings. He's most likely not in his comfort zone right now looking them up. Since his drama, and while I realize he has a life crisis going on.........it's still drama, at least the part you're getting........is beginning to effect your mental health I'd limit when he can call or for what reason he can call. You could probably call the county mental health where he lives and get the hotline number for when he's saying he's suicidal. I'd be referring him to them honestly instead of trying to field those calls myself at a distance. Sorry. Probably wasn't much help but this is a really difficult situation and the distance doesn't make it any easier, except perhaps that he's not standing on your doorstep doing this sort of thing.
