[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 89287, member: 1545"] Well I certainly agree with the therapist who pointed out that this 'decision' of whether to stay home or move out should not be causing a level of stress that would precipitate thoughts of suicide. There is clearly more going on than the decision looming in January. Is he depressed? Is it the drugs? You're going to need professional help sorting this one out. You know your son best. If you feel this is truly suicidal ideation that get him admitted FAST. My daughters journals were filled with dark, death centered writings. And she tells us now how close she came to suicide. Very, very close. It is likely that since your son was journaling these things in a private venue that these are real thoughts crossing his mind ... as opposed to yelling these things in anger or to manipulate you in some way. Is he going to me mad? You bet he is. First your wife found and read his private journals. He's going to be mad. Then he'll be mad that you are imposing more constraints on him. He'll be mad about a lot of things probably. That's OK. In time he will come to realize that you did this out of love and concern for him. In time he'll get it. We had to admit our daughter twice to a psychiatric facility. Trust me ... she didn't go voluntarily. It's not as scary as you might think. Listen to his doctors. I agree he need immediate inpatient treatment and assessment. He also needs to be kept safe. Let us know how things are. [/QUOTE]
