[QUOTE="PittDoraj, post: 496330, member: 13500"] Further Update: my son called this morning from the hospital. He asked if I could come see him - of course I will but can't until this evening due to visiting hours. He then told me he has a hearing tomorrow and 1) wants to know what we told the police and 2) can he stay at our house for a few days. I know that he is just trying to set things up so he can get out of the hospital. I told him that we told the police exactly what I told him yesterday - we told them my son had a history of suicide attempts and what his text said. That's the easy part. Regarding staying here I told him I would discuss with my wife. Having him come here to stay for a few days - this seems like we would be enabling him. I'm sure the administrator of the hearing wants to know he has a place to stay. But I'm not sure putting him right on the street is the right thing. So the other option is to make his staying here contingent on his agreeing to go into a program. I am sure he won't agree to an in-patient program. How do you find the strength to turn your child away in this kind of situation? [/QUOTE]
