[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 550138, member: 84"] Tired, you're view is correct. Those who want help, with threaten and talk about suicide. Those who are done, totally, don't talk, don't threaten, they just do it with no warning whatsoever. I'm not going to say there aren't instances of those crying out for help accidentally succeeding, because it often happens. But those who are determined to end it, keep it to themselves and get the job done regardless of efforts of outside forces. To me, suicide is a person's right. I have no right to judge how utterly miserable their life might be or if their reasons are valid. I haven't walked in their shoes. This doesn't mean that I wouldn't encourage help and treatment or whatever.......but I think you get the idea. Nichole was suicidal for a quite a long while. Being underage, I got her help and made sure she followed through, but like I told her.....if that was her decision, I couldn't stop her. Thankfully Nichole's was a cry for help and an accurate indication of how bad her mental state was than a true desire to follow through. It might be that it is that way with your difficult child as well. But as you said all you can do is pray and detach. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
