[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 465548, member: 6546"] Justtired-- I'm so glad that you are seeing the humor in this situation. He sounds like a MAJOR drama queen... I agree that ignoring the suicide threats is the best tactic. Whatever you do, though - don't "egg him on" about it or dare him to kill himself....folks will commit suicide out of spite... And I cannot believe that you've gotten this far without realizing that everything IS your fault. It's ALWAYS Mom's fault. That's certainly what I hear from my difficult child. I have ruined her life on more than one occassion. So far - she still hates me (or so she pretends). If it was really that bad I figure she would have run away by know - so the blame game is just for show... Do you ever watch the show "The Middle" ? There was an episode in which the parents laid down the law for the kids. The kids protested - told them they were being mean. Finally, one of the teens threatened to report the parents to the authorities. The Mom replied "You're gonna call them? Gee - I hope I don't lose custody." So let your son have his drama...and find the humor where you can. Meanwhile - I hope you don't lose custody! [/QUOTE]
