[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 550180, member: 13558"] I did call the police about a year ago during an episode and when they checked on him he said he was not suicidal. The police officer called me and let me know. He then Baker Acted himself about 3 months later, I told him to be completely honest with the docs and he was released after two days. I have only known one person (44yo) that was in therapy for years and made threats that actually committed suicide. She had young children and they were all in weekly therapy. The many others I have known may have been thinking of it, but didn't tell anyone. We also had a missionary from Australia hang himself this week. I was 'trained' to believe suicide was the ultimate selfish act and was a sin. As I have matured I agree that it is the person's right, I don't judge, and I no longer think of it as a sin. My 'gut feeling' is that my difficult child was drinking again, leading to depression, and is passed the moment now. When I was talking to him he told me it still hurt that his own dad didn't love him. He said that he learned from his deadbeat dad what NOT to do when he has children. Until my son can find a more stable path in his life I feel we are blessed that there are no children. His life, his choices. [/QUOTE]
