[QUOTE="Star*, post: 520099, member: 4964"] If two people who were their age wanted to take a trip anywhere across state lines? I'd have a problem with it. The fact that your daughter has absolutely NO history or knowledge in dealing with ANYONE at ANY TIME in her life that has been suicidal is the most scary thing to me. Too many scenarios play out in MY head of what could happen. Since you probably can't stop her from going with him? Educate her. Tell her you'll allow her to go, but have her talk to a suicide prevention counsleor with YOU present so that you BOTH can bring up SCENARIOS, questions and talk it over reasonably. If she's MATURE enough to ride as a nurse/counselor/therapist for someone who is SUICIDAL - truely suicidal and not just playing on her sympathies or a manipulative man? Then she will WELCOME all the advice and help she can get in SAVING HIS LIFE -and you will have all the satisfaction of knowing that you did everything you could to arm her with wisdom and a GOOD WORKING GPS, AAA trip ticks and a WELL-DEFINED ROUTE NOT TO BE DEVIATED FROM. And she'll call in - every hour and let you know what mile marker, and town they're at - so you KNOW they're safe -emphasis on THEY ARE SAFE. OTHERWISE the trip is off - and she's NOT GOING. This daughter of yours is an exceptional person to want to help another, but her naive bone is no where near done growing - he could have a knife, he could have a gun, he could stop and jump off a bridge and these are ALL things that while a Daddy can say - HAD YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THIS MAN doing XYZ? A suicide prevention counselor or HOTLINE - person could say - YES this really happens and better chance she'Learning Disability (LD) believe it from THEM. [/QUOTE]
