[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 89326, member: 3626"] Yes, he's going to be mad at you. He's even going to be mad at wife for showing you his work. However, this honestly sounds like a lot of manipulation on his part. He knows his mom will clean his room. He's bound to realize she will read what he writes -- she loves him and is proud of his work (and curious). I'm willing to bet his thought process was something like, "Hmmm ... I'll write this poem, make it sound like I'm really suicidal because I can't do what I want here and I don't want to be responsible for taking care of myself. If they find this, mom will make dad let me stay and do what I want." Hospitalization did not cross his mind. That being said, even if you knew positively it was nothing but manipulation, I agree you have to have him hospitalized. Since he is now 18, I imagine you'll have to do as everywoman did -- see the judge first. I would get to work on this very, very quickly. I wish I could say I'm sorry it has come to this, but I'm not. It may just be the best thing has happened. I'm pretty sure they will require family therapy while he is there or at least offer it as an option. Maybe it will open wife's eyes and give you the third (and probably best) option -- rehab for McWeedy. (((((MIKEY))))) [/QUOTE]
