[QUOTE="PittDoraj, post: 496318, member: 13500"] Update: I went to see my son yesterday. He blames me for his being in the psychiatric ward. He says all he was doing was looking for a place to sleep. I explained the reason he is there is 1) he wrote "I've chosen to die" and 2) he did not respond to phone calls or texts. That left me no other option. He told me he through his phone away because he didn't want to be bothered. The police told me he threw it in a sewer drain. He wants nothing to do with us. He said that I should not bother to come back to visit - that he will not see me, or my wife or daughter. Ever since his last psychiatric ward stay he said he could not go back to the ward. So he sees this as me sending him back to the one place he couldn't go back to. I can only hope this anger will pass. In the meantime I will contact his therapist to fill him in. My wife and I have been looking at apartments and jobs that we could show my son. Our plan is to show him his options. Other than that, we don't know what else we can do. This is the real frustrating part. As many of you have said he is safe and that is the most important thing. (I have tried to fill out the signature properly - please let me know if I made a mistake. Thank you.) [/QUOTE]
