[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 89791, member: 3626"] For what it's worth, I understand why you aren't doing something. The reality is without wife's support, the odds of having him hospitalized are somewhere between slim and none. He can con his way out of what he wrote ... he was angry; he doesn't even remotely feel that way today; he was copying ideas from other poems/songs. He's not going to be admitted unless he is a PRESENT danger to himself. If wife says he's not, your hands are tied. The one thing I would do is talk to your wife. Tell her that no matter what he feels today, those words were real at the time. Can she live with the risk that he may in fact try suicide in the future? If she can, there is nothing more you can do. The other thing is to decide now what you are going to do in December. I can guarantee you he is not going to move out unless you (and you alone) force him to. (Heck, I'll even bet you on that one.) He now has a suicide ideation to keep his mother in line. He'll stay. So, time for you to decide: What are YOU going to do? [/QUOTE]
